Weather: Rough

Location: Heading to Sunny Leith

Food: Chicken Tandoori + Chocolate Gateaux

In the worlds of Nelly Furtado - "All Good things come to an end" - Science has now ended and the RRS James Cook has turned for home. Yesterday the weather defeated our last attempt to deploy the rock drill - the wind kicked up to about 30 knots and the swell was quite big. The ship stayed on station till around midday when the window for a final deployment closed and the ship was turned for home. At first the weather was quite rough but calmed after we had made our way through the Pentland Firth - doing a good 14 knots....

Bob laid on an end of cruise drink and paid for everyone’s three units. Lots of talking and socialising!! At midnight we all sang happy birthday to Mark the chef who is 39 today. I think tonight’s run ashore might comprise of more than three units..... although I’m just guessing!!

The weather today has been very nice and there was a beautiful sunrise this morning.

Things are getting busy for everyone now - I've got masses of data to back up so that the BGS team can take it away and process it. The BGS team have to pack all their gear - its seems "winding down" is the wrong sort of word for the end of a cruise as the next few hours are going to be hectic!!!

Here's Some More of Your Pictures
