A grey and slightly chillier day. The air pressure has been dropping steadily for a couple of days and a little more thought is required when moving about the ship so maybe we will be experiencing some more difficult conditions.
This morning a lonely little common dolphin came to play with us for about 15 minutes, coming quite close to one side then disappearing underneath the ship to emerge on the other side. This first cetacean sighting in several days caused a little excitement. It was moving too fast for a photo so Zoltan chopped this from a video he took.
My brother has sent a message to correct the A team. Apparently it is wrong to refer to those not on watch duties as 'slackers. ”. The correct term as used in Nelson’s Navy is “idlers”
From next station onwards we will be following the 20 deg line of longitude northwards so once again the mast will be interfering with the internet connection. Karen had written about the Apex moorings, the second of which was deployed about 4pm, but her laptop has taken ill and is now in Zoltan's sick bay. Hopefully it will be fixed for the next blog.
