we’re now just inside the top of the engine that drives the southern ocean weather – the ring of lows around 50s. cold, windy, big messy seas and very uncomfortable. will have to cut back a bit on updates for a day.or so as have just been warned by sailmail that we are overusing our station time. this one is going out via satcomc which is fiendishly expensive. thanks for all your messages – makes the day when mailcall arrives but please keep them short to help us stay inside sailmail limit. hi roger and the sailing office – wish you were here.
