SAA II Delivery - Day 15 / 21 April 2012

Hello All

Yesterday was a very awkward day onboard with all the polliwogs very nervous for the initiation day.

There nervea proved to be justified when King Neptune's Royal Party visited the vessel today and gave the first time equator crossing sailors a proper initiation into the order of the deep. I must admit each one of them deserve credit for their brave efforts and endurance. Attached is a photo of King Neptune and his Royal Party and a group photo of all the sailors that were initiated.

We are in the doldrums and the vessel is sailing along quietly with no sea to talk of really and a gentle swell from ahead. We are now spotting more and more sea life with the flying fish, whales, dolphins, sharks and the odd

We have been picking up quite a strong adverse current since this morning after tea which is slowing our progress by 2 knots.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.


All the best
