Comments
A bit more wind and swell today, to keep life interesting. The crew conducted a "man overboard" drill today, which was educational. It took 30 minutes to recover our "body" in realistic conditions. The recovery would have been quicker if the ship had started thrusters (probably 13 minutes). The take home message: don't fall overboard, especially in water temperatures like we have at present.
Regards, Doug & Andrew
