I have been at sea for 52 days now. I am used to it. 

You may have noticed that I have not been talking about my electric water-maker lately.  I solved the problem and it works fine now. 

I almost hurt myself with boiling water.  I was heating water with my stove.  The water started to boil over. I could not turn it off in time.  I burned my right index finger and thumb.

I stuck my hand in the cool sea water.  I was lucky.  The skin on my index finger was weaker but not blistered. When I am not a danger to myself, the sea can be scary.  Tropical Storm Gil was named last night, but it should not affect me.
