Comments
The good run with weather and conditions came to a halt yesterday afternoon when the ship was forced to hove to due to very limited visibility and eventual whiteout. The situation remained unchanged until 1205 LT today when visibility improved and we are underway again. A lifeboat emergency muster exercise was conducted this morning concurrently with an emergency fire response for the crew. All pax on board well and the series of lectures and field training has resumed. REGARDS Richard and Jenny
