Comments
Ship rolling moderately at times, but still nothing too extreme, even though we’re now in the furious fifties. There was a staggeringly good aurora overhead last night, and even the few clouds that were around didn’t have much impact on how impressive it was. Wonderful curtains of fast moving light. We may not be as lucky tonight though, what with all this cloud... CPR tow 2 is due in later this afternoon, and will no doubt be closely followed by tow 3. In all other respects, it’s been a pretty quiet Sunday!
All the best, Doug and Dave
