Some sad news this morning. “Thracian" ran aground during the night and damaged her stern - necessitating docking. They are preparing to move her into the dock here at Aberdeen.
Still waiting patiently for No. 11 to come off the slip - this waiting is most annoying. She may be off this evening l am told.
I don’t like the idea of "Thracian" coming here - The enemy are bound to blitz the dock as soon as they have spotted her. I wish they would get a move on with No. 11, the sooner I get fixed up and away the better.
Went onboard "Thracian" after dark and had a couple of drinks.
All seem very fed up - and expect a few bombs around tomorrow. Turned in early but spent a restless night.
