Comments

Ship rolling and pitching moderately as we track to the south towards mooring 3. Conditions were unworkable this morning at mooring site 2(6-8m swell),and forecast to remain that way for 24 hours. Disappointed, we've decided to head for SAZ F and hope for favorable conditions when we arrive. REGARDS Dug
