Hello All
The fact that we managed a credible speed of 11.2kn at noon is amazing taking into consideration that the wind was gusting past the 60kn mark at tea time today. We have been very fortunate with all the weather since leaving South Georgia always maintaining a direction abaft our beam. The wind now is slightly on our quarter and will be directly on our stern when we alter shortly after 14:00 to the next buoy deployment position.
What is also amazing is that the direction changes of the wind resulted in it never really having the consistency of building a sea greater than 7 meters, which is also very lucky.
This morning we had rain, then snow, then sleet and then rain again. We only detected one iceberg in the far distance and have to still come across our first ice, whether sea or land ice, as we head back to the icy continent.
Have a nice day.
