SAA II SITREP Voy 004-005

Hello All

We are still pushing our way through strong head seas and large swell, but are making good progress and will achieve our ETA.

The activities are lined up for tomorrow and the day will be full. Luckily the weather prognoses is counting in our favor, but it is looking grim for the day there after. We have to conduct a helicopter drop for 6 people and their luggage on Nightingale on that day and hope that we could fit it in before the front closes in on the 13th...hold thumbs.

If all goes well we would make landfall at Gough on Saturday the 15th, which is looking quite good at this stage weather wise.

We will retard clocks tonight after which ships time will remain on GMT for the remainder of the voyage, before the return leg.

I am sure that there are many eager people onboard waiting on their visit to  Tristan Island.

All the best.
