Tuesday 3-27-23 (continued) 
Wot a bird or fish or mammal all day today. Played shuffleooard, xoolea 
around deck with the Pitners, Owsley, Wm. C. Baker (Holder's friend) and 
(silent?) Knight - all of Pasadena. As Owsley said, the only thing that 
was never silent about a Knight motor was Knight'. Baker has been keen 
about the sea for years and was most interesting. Eat and sleep like a 
fool - what a loaf 1 . 
Breezing up unpleasantly out of the S.E. tonight but can still Keep our 
ports open. For comfort one should always have a starboard cabin on this 
boat as they carry a constant poro list.

A poor day for most of the passengers but what a day for hires'. The 
strong breeze of last night got up to perhaps 35 m. p-h. in the night ana 
half boxed the compass clock-wise-going around with the sun-so that by ^ae 
time I went on deck this morning there was a nasty brown sea and a strong 
20-25 mile wind. Only the old-timers and the lucky appeared for break¬ 
fast. Counting myself among the latter, I was lonely in tne dining room, 
my fruit,beef steak, 
but enjoyed eggs and cakes, for as the bridge players say, 1 always believe 
in "discarding from strength instead of weakness" when the worst comes tothe 
worst (see large dictionary if W. comes to W.)
