SAA II Delivery - Day 20 / 26 April 2012

Hello All

The swell period increased yesterday and we had the long even swells of the South Atlantic that we are used to. The vessel rode them out nicely so we were gently moving to the motion of the ocean.

Last night, for the first time since we left, we went UMS (Unmanned) in the engine room without any alarms during the night, quite an accomplishment, well done to the guys down below.

We are still unpacking spare parts and bits and pieces and have now started with giving the inside of the accommodation a shine after spending all the good weather days mostly outside washing, cleaning and securing.

We are now 420 miles to the west of the Kunene river mouth, the northern boarder between Namibia and Angola and edging closer to the home land on a course of 140°T.

Enjoy the rest of your day and see you soon!
