porpoise

Thursday 21st January 1943

It is appreciably warmer. At 10 knots (14 miles an hour). It is now 1 o'clock. How far have we come since yesterday morning at six? I came to my cabin at 11 o/clock this morning, opened the post. I leant against it swaying with the gentle heave and roll of the boat. Quiet. I looked out, sun shining on a very tranquil sea. I watched it, the gentle waves a few ripples only. It made me wonder at life, my life, what it is, what does it mean. I cannot understand. I am going to try and get fifty winks now. We saw lights in the dark this morning. We saw them on the last trip but later on.
