Comments

An uncomfortable night rolling towards SAZ-C. A change of course this morning to be going with the swell has us making good speed towards the mooring, and hoping we will arrive with enough light and a workable sea state to retrieve it this evening. Fuel figures for yesterday: Bunker 462000 l; ATK 38077 l. Helicopter hours flown from 4/11/02: 26.5 hrs. REGARDS Dug
