Comments
Continued to make very good progress averaging 16.08 knots for the twenty four hours. Deployed two more of the CSIRO Argos buoys. Recovered the fourth plankton recorder and deployed the fifth at 2340LT yesterday. Whilst we are encountering rough seas the vessel is travelling remarkably smoothly in the following conditions. Most passengers remain well and counting the days down. Time was advanced one hour last night and we are now two hours behind Kingston time. REGARDS Richard and Jenny
