Comments

Sea conditions remain rough, and are slowing progress slightly. Experiencing unusual strong westerlies at present, not expected at this latitude. Conditions remain reasonable onboard. Communications with Davis increasing as ships arrival draws near. At current speed, expected arrival at Davis now late afternoon or early evening on the 8'th. Other Op's normal, all well.
