Comments
Environmental/quarantine pre arrival activity all but complete. A frenzy of briefings, JSA's and work group meetings has broken out on board. The number of people striding around with clipboards has increased sharply. Phone hook-up with station complete. The ship is travelling comfortably and with both engines running we are on track to drop anchor early afternoon on Thursday, with a promising forecast for our arrival. Other op's normal, all well.
