Hello All
Yesterday afternoon we rolled to 21°, the maximum we have done this trip with the swell on the quarter as we tried to reach the next buoy position. We had to sacrifice some of the westings to keep the ship relatively comfortable while steaming north.
Shortly after midnight we dropped the northern most buoy of the voyage and turned ESE'ly. The wind followed us around as if it was called to do so and made the ship more comfortable by breakfast time when it blew the swell down a bit. The predictions for tomorrow are very interesting and we will have to see how she behaves to a 7 meter beam swell! We will probably end up doing a bit of a dog leg to the next buoy position.
With the outside temperature a very warm 8°C, shortly before lunch, we almost felt like breaking out the deck chairs and getting ready the sun screen, but it did not last long and rain is pouring down with poor visibility as I am writing this mail...talk about fours seasons in a day!
Have a good Monday and good luck with the rest of the week.
