Currently we have around 15kts and will go to full main shortly. No sea sickness as yet, although a couple of people felt a bit green working below yesterday. Today we start our mother watch system and I\u2019m looking forward to great things as most of the crew are adamant that they can\u2019t cook. Blogs will follow as soon as I can persuade someone to write one!
