Sea state is moderate to rough with a Force 7 on the beam (not too bad really). The lead scientist had said we could see a comet last night burning up into the sun but as the time came it was cloudy.
There’s a few albatross’ flying near the ship.
We have altered the passage plan slightly (cutting off a corner) so we can pass close to the most isolated, uninhabited island in the world. The place is called Bouvetoya, as far as I’m aware its nothing more than a large mass of rock and glacier with an unmanned weather station on top of it.
Two handy tips for making life at sea more pleasant;
1. 1) Wedging the inboard side of your mattress up with shoes/towels etc makes sleeping in rough weather much easier.
2. 2) Blue tacking a small Pringles box to the desk makes a perfect beer/port holder.
