Day 32 : 09 January 2011

Hello All

As we left King Edward Point yesterday afternoon the passenger vessel "The World" were sending in her tenders to offload their passengers for a visit.

We had some pre-frontal rain showers just to the north of the island and initially the wind increased from the North East and then backed around after midnight to gale force South West. Currently the sea is pushed up to about 6 meters and the wind gusting through 45 knots. We are feeling the effects of it as we are now rolling more than we have been for the entire voyage.

We should reach our northerly most buoy deployment position by midnight and will then head back south.

Have a relaxing Sunday afternoon.
