Comments

Saturday morning finds us sailing in relatively calm seas approaching the 47th parallel. Many are travelling well but a few are still finding their sea legs. We are hoping to deploy the Continuous Plankton Recorder later today.

We are expecting a turn in the weather and may adjust course to avoid the worst of it. For the moment; we continue to head south-west with resolution in our hearts and the prescribed amount of promethazine teoclate in our stomachs.
