Comments

Spookily calm conditions at present, prior to our expected meeting with a weather front sometime tomorrow. Some alteration of speed and course to avoid the worst of a 946 Hpa low. This alteration to course as well as expected slow headway once the bad weather is encountered will see us into Davis at least one day late, now expected 7 March at the earliest. Ship being prepared for rough weather conditions by Crew and Expos. Safety rounds conducted today. Many on board studying up for tonight's monster quiz. Other Op's normal, all well. Pete and Karin.
