Comments

All onboard had an enforced rest day yesterday. The morning fog persisted and strong northerly winds meant we were unable to get close to Buckles Bay. A movie marathon was enjoyed by all interspersed with lunch and dinner. With dinner we had the ubiquitous cheese platter with a nice selection of hard and soft cheese. This morning we endeavored to start cargo operations however fog, strong northerly winds, and swell meant we had to stand down. This afternoon is more promising as the slight winds are now westerly and cargo operations have recommenced.

REGARDS: Martin and Mark
