Day 132 Squally weather

Position @ 1900 - S14º30 W161º35 - 24 hour distance traveled = 140 n miles
The entire day was one rain squall after another. At least it is warm and the rain is not really uncomfortable - just wet. We took turns on deck throughout the day and during our normal watch schedule at night.
On my watch (7 to 10) the clouds finally began to dissipate and the first sliver of a moon appeared just below Venus. I could easily see Saturn overhead next to Scorpio and could pick out the Southern Cross and the two "pointer stars" that indicate South. I had brought a star chart with me but it is pretty useless here as it is set for the stars visible from San Francisco and the Southern Hemisphere is too distorted to help identify these constellations. Of course, there are some obvious ones like Orion but most of them are either new to me or I have forgotten them and will need a new chart to do any serious star gazing.
I slept poorly last night. We have been on a starboard tack since leaving Rarotonga. This means the wind is coming from our right and the boat is heeled over to port or leaning to the left. As we hit waves, the boat is shaken so that anything that is loose on the starboard (right) side of the boat eventually either falls or slides to the port (left) side. I share my bunk with six large bags - three contain sails and three contain various safety equipment. Four of them are quite heavy and three are quite slippery. Between me and my bunk mates there is a foam pad. Last night, my "friends" decided to come and visit my side of the bunk. I woke frequently and tried to push them back to their place but as soon as I got back to sleep the bags would nudge the foam pad and it would fall over on me. I would wake up because I knew what was coming next - impolite visitors. By the time I woke up in the morning, I was pinned into a foot-wide notch between the foam pad and the port side of the boat. This would be a great thing to control a somnambulist but for the normal sleeper, it is a bit uncomfortable.
I vowed to rearrange the bunk so that the "heavies" are next to the port hull and I am on their starboard side. This part of the bunk is has very low headroom but I figure if you can't fight 'em, join 'em.
