Comments

Today expeditioners with skills that could assist in an emergency joined
the ships crew for the Sunday morning safety rounds. These involved
checking safety and emergency equipment and identifying any hazards in
specific areas of the vessel. It was a good chance for expeditioners to
meet some of the ships crew who they would only otherwise meet at meal
times, and to visit parts of the ship otherwise out of bounds.

After the safety rounds the weekly ships safety meeting was held in the
mess.

"Rome wasn't built in a day" and so to insure a smoother and safer
operation voyage management and the ships master have started meeting
each day at 1500 for a management team meeting.

Cheers

Andy, Margaret, Kate.
