Captain Spicer on board s/s St Oswald

July 22nd Tuesday
Sea calm, cooler rather dull. Both feeling much better. Did morning exercise by pacing deck. No need for skipping yet as so far I must have lost weight with seasickness.

Sighted school of porpoises off Portuguese coast. Chief engineer sent present of strawberry jam and cake to us. Enjoyed a good dinner (good sign). Sampled chefs' cake teatime also jams. Both OK, but liked jam best. Did more knitting and some writing. Dad's gramophone again in the evening, turned in at 9:30pm.
