It was this morning that I stood that 2 - 4 AM watch for Nick - but I corked during nearly the whole watch. I couldn't help it. Was on the bridge from 6 - 8. We had swedish competitions there - a queer form of amusement, but an effective one. After quarters I went to gun drill. Ran off a pretty good string. After gun drill went back to the bridge. In the afternoon I was excused for nav, but after a short lecture on stereo I went below where I threw 50 buckets from the bunkers, shot a pile of ashes and fired 6 times. Spent a pleasant evening in the eyes, turning in about 10. The nights for the last week have been extremely windy, while the days as a rule have been sunny and cool.
