Comments

Rolling along on a beam sea but making good progress. The cafeteria seating plan was spontaneously reorganised over lunch when a few big rolls went through. DVL Hully has been busy with his science hat on deploying the Continuous plankton recorder and water sampling experiments. Special greetings to the small but dedicated band of regular shipboard Sitrep readers who have noticed the deliberate numbering, date and grammatical errors we sneak in by way of entertainment. All well I think.. Regards, Don and Hully
