Comments

Sea conditions deteriorated overnight as expected, but it remains reasonably comfortable onboard, although soup has not been a popular choice for lunch. Ships crew have placed the vessel in the best possible position in relation to the low pressure system. These conditions expected for the next 24 hours. Most still travelling quite well. Environment and helo safety briefings today. Other Op's normal, all well. Regards Pete & Karin
