Quiet watch this morning, wind is a steady F5 on the nose, temperature is comfortable. I was learning the art of chart corrections this afternoon.
Every chart on board has to be update by law, chart corrections come out weekly and we download them then print them off and apply them to the charts that are needed. There are two different types that you physically put on the chart, blocks and traces. Blocks are replacement parts of chart that are stuck on top to replace a section of chart and traces are printed out onto tracing paper, these can be additions eg new lights, depths, etc or removal of lights, etc or replacing features.
This evening we had doctor school, the doc showed us how to put in a drip, take blood and test our blood groups. I took my own blood, which was a strange feeling and found out my blood type to be O+.
Clocks are going to GMT +1 tonight, each watch it 20mins less. Instead of starting at midnight tonight I start at 2320, then we put the clocks forward an hour.
