OK, seems like I missed the 1200 report - I was in
bed. We have changed the watch times slightly, to fit in with our arrival
at the shipping lanes - which is in the dark again!!
Weather still holding as predicted, though we
still have the slight discomfort of the swell slightly right of the nose
causing modest pitching movement. Clear skies, light winds, and sunny
though.
Both stabilisers deployed, for comfort, but is
costing us about 1 kt in speed and about 1 to 2 litres per hour in fuel.
Fuel burn averaging about 1.65l/nm overall, burning about 1.8 to 1.9l/nm at the
current speed. Since leaving Miri we have covered 530nm and used 840
ltrs of diesel in the main engine. Approx 24 hours to
go.
