We are 45 miles SW of Tanjung Sambar 
Weather conditions have continued as much of a muchness over the lasty 24 hours with the strongest squallm being 48 knots, so the seas have not abated an. 
We are expecting more of the same for the next 24 hours and we haven’t seen the sun in over three days now. 
The motion of the vessel is still uncomfortable with the repeated slamming of our blunt bow into the oncoming seas and we remain at the reduced speed of under 4 knots 


The music today is another “wonderbra tune” ie uplifting. 
Always makes me smile when I hear it and have a go at joining in with the chorus.

While I was finding the track I came across this solo acoustic version which I think is amazing. 
It reminds me of when we ran our bar the vast number of incredibly talented “bedroom” players that were out there just waiting to shine if someone gave them a stage.
