Hello All
Yesterday afternoon we used the extra time we have in hand to run the engines in different configurations and at different combinator settings to note the power changes for future reference. We managed to bring her down to run on two propellers on only one generator, but later found that it was not good for the shaft bearings since the jacking pumps then have to run continuously. There are still some ways around that which we will investigate in time. At least we have many options, as they say many ways to skin a cat :-)
Early this morning before sunrise we crossed over to the "right" side of the Greenwich meridian and were glad to see the sun rise at a more respectable time shortly after eight and it will probably also set tonight at a more reasonable time.
We have slowed our progress down a bit to keep within our arrival schedule.
Have a splendid mid week.
