Sunday Dec. 9  Day opens fine but no wind
Some trouble getting an early start. 10.45 we made a start with a fair wind and reached Mahaglia at 3.15 where we found a post card and a telegram from Joe giving us two weeks later news from him - from thence with a failing wind we fetched up at Sharona about 6 miles further on after dark. Being tired of doing nothing the old folks went to bed early and so ends this day.
