Comments
A very uncomfortable night out here, with the ship rolling significantly (10-20 degrees). The captain has advised us that "rolling will continue until morale improves". We have changed course slightly to help in that regard. Clocks were set back one hour last night (an extra hour of rolling...), and are now on UTC+8, with one to go to align ourselves with Davis.
Kind regards, Doug & Andrew
