COMMENTS: WE SHOULD ARRIVE IN GALLE AROUND THIS TIME TOMORROW. THERE WE WILL GET SOME MUCH NEEDED REST AND ADDRESS SOME BOAT ISSUES. THERE ARE SOME TOURS TO THE HIGHLANDS AVAILABLE WE MAY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.

THEN WE WILL WAIT FOR A WEATHER WINDOW FOR OUR THREE DAY RUN TO COCHIN, INDIA. BECAUSE OF THE MOTION OF THE BOAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO WEIGH YOURSELF AS THE SCALES GO UP AND DOWN. THIS MORNING I WEIGHED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 170LBS AND 230LBS.
