Describing the voyage thus far, including having rudimentarily painted the ship's new name, suffering a broken diesel engine, meeting the captain, complaining of their lazy "English yachtsmen" who "aren't turning out very well," trading fresh fish for a bottle of "Square-face" with Danish fishing boats, disagreements with Fritz, having the opportunity to steer the ship for a few hours; dropping anchor on the Suffolk coast where they experienced trouble with engines, wind and a near collision.
