Day 67 : 13 February 2012

Hello All

Yesterday afternoon we got hammered by a depression sneeking through quickly and pushing up quite a swell. Until midnight last night we had around 50 knots of wind with a 6 meter swell on the quarter as we maintained our course. The ship took it very well and we only made slight adjustments to allow for a comfortable transit.

Since then the barometer has been sky rocketing, providing the long last sunny day we were so hoping for. The swell still remains, but at least the wind is down and the sun is shining. Finally there are also no icebergs to report, which is a relief.

We are still awaiting the sight of some other vessels and will be expecting that towards tonight and tomorrow as we enter the shipping routes.

Have a relaxing Sunday afternoon.
