Sea state - no change. This is going to be a shorty as I've spent the whole day messing with the water-maker, which has decided to pack up. It just seems to be one thing after the other at the moment. All I want to do is pedal this damn boat and instead I find myself fixing things or making things or routing around in the back for medicines for infections etc etc. And the ocean in the state it is in at the moment is like someone poking you repeatedly with a stick, egging you on to a foul mood like I'm in now. Tomorrow I'll have to spend at least the morning uninstalling the water-maker and pulling it apart to replace O rings (depressurization seems to be the problem), which should be a laugh with these waves.
Wish I could find the Zen in all of this right now, but I'm too furious. Furious Zen.
