Comments
We continue on our course southwest, at reduced speed, waiting for the low-pressure system to make its way from west to east across our path. We are also eagerly awaiting our first ice sighting, which for our "sweep" purpose is actually a "bergy bit" that is at least 2 metres high. The first sighting is probably a while off yet and our limited visibility makes it a bit more challenging but interest remains high as there is a promised prize for the one who is closest in time to it being abeam the mess.
