Stood off until 12.30. Had trip to Hawes Pier at 1 o’clock and another on return. Kept pretty busy until about 7 o’clock when we started to come
in. Very strong wind and tide and had the dickens of a job to get hooked on, managed it at last after we had broken three heaving lines, lost a
cowl and broken skylight and hand rail.
