Duncan took them for a launch ride. Bad thunderstorm in the night. Cool to-day. Barometer still falling. Did some more puttying. Went down to dock to see "Ginger" let down into water to get engine in and walked up to Walsh's Hill with Charles for a walk. Had a fire over at Charlie's so we all went over.
