Location: 40 54.4 N 022 30.0 W Course 057 Speed 13.8 kts
Weather: Mostly Cloudy Wind: SSW 15 kts Seas: Moderate sea swell
Most were woken to the day by the ship’s whistle as we entered rain & fog just as revile was being announced. However, by 0900 the weather had improved significantly and work could continue topside. The swell has picked up a bit so the gentle rolls are a bit more exaggerated but overall our string of fair weather continues. Delta has assumed the watch and Charlie is midway through this training block and Alpha has taken over maintenance.
