Comments

Sea picking up slightly, with heavy conditions expected in the next 24 hours. We hope to get our special occasion pizza night under our belts before the heavy weather sets in. Small but enthusiastic crowd at last night's quiz night. Much discussion onboard with a very experienced boating crew, regarding procedural issues involving small boat operations - a good opportunity to examine procedures and improve systems while we have down time in transit. Quarantine cleaning of gear to go ashore has commenced. CPR redeployed. With the expected delays caused by heavy seas, we expect to arrive at Davis no sooner than Sunday 8 March. Other Op's normal, all well. Regards Pete & Karin
