Location: 33 48.7 N 013 26.5 W Course 248 Speed 14.0 kts
Weather: Mostly Sunny Wind: NNE 22 kts. Seas: Moderate sea swell
We had a mixture of warm sun and fresh breezes today. However, the wind and swell combined forces on our beam to give us some pretty good rolls so our work on deck was limited to scraping paint and chipping rust. The engine department spent quite a bit of time working on the controls for the fire & ballast pump and Charlie engineers prepare for flashlight exams tomorrow.
