Comments

The sea and weather conditions remain reasonable and we continue to make good progress on the homeward journey. Average speed for the past 24 hours was 12.71 knots. We are due to change heading and turn North later today so we wait expectantly to see what impact this may have on our relatively smooth passage for the past six days. Time pieces will be advanced one hour this evening.
