Comments

Headed for process station 2 in increasing winds and growing seas. Hove to for awhile during night and early morning. Decks off limits for much of the night while the ship was rolling. SSW seas at 5 m and SSW swells to 7-8 m around midnight. Winds decreasing now and we expect to arrive at process station just before midnight tonight. Everyone catching up on sleep after a rough night prior to the next station. Regards Vicky & Karin
