Comments
A lovely day to be out and about on the Southern Ocean. CPR tow 1 was retrieved at about midnight, and CPR tow 2 deployed. A morning emergency muster drill had us all on the helideck in our bright Antarctic issue gear, in glorious conditions while the crew conducted an emergency drill. Our first wandering albatross joined the ship for the morning too. Always lovely to have their company…
Everyone is travelling well, which is good, because we have a forecast for some ordinary weather coming our way in the next day or two!
All the best, Doug and Dave
