Comments

Changed heading overnight and encountered rough seas, with the ship rolling heavily, which made for probably the most uncomfortable travel to date. Conditions abated late this morning and we are now experiencing moderate seas with slight swell. Will arrive Davis waypoint late this evening and will approach anchorage early tomorrow morning. Radio contact with Davis this morning and planning, weather permitting, to be operational by around 0800 tomorrow. All will be glad to get onto a solid platform for a change.
