Comments
Sea conditions changed during the day and we are now experiencing much larger swells. This has caused the ship to roll and at times violently and has effected everyones sleep. However we still continued to make good progress and for the 24 hour period to 1200 local we averaged 13 knots. Current ETA at the pilot is Saturday afternoon 2nd March - we will monitor this closely and advise again tomorrow.
