Comments

Well; the monster 4 hour clock change came and went. It wasn't so bad but it was difficult for the Voyage Leader to avoid thinking that he was supposed to be getting up at 2:45am (UTC+7) to attend the 7:15am (UTC+11) bridge meeting. In fact he got up at 3:15am (UTC+7) to entirely miss the bridge meeting; but not breakfast which is evidently far more important.

Anyway we are now chronologically, if not mentally, aligned with Head Office on Hobart time (UTC+11) and are powering along at 14 knots like a greyhound of the ocean with a following breeze. And, with a little nap after lunch, it will all be good.
