Noon Figures

Been a bit bumpy since sailing Immingham yesterday. Passed through the Dover Strait last night on my watch at around 0200. It was a clear night and there where only of couple of ferries to watch out for!

At 1200 each day I have to get a position of the ship plus a range and bearing of a point on land to enter into the log. I also have to work out how many hours the ship has been steaming for(excluding science time and entering/leaving Port) plus the distance travelled and average speed for that time. Ill try to stick those out so people can have a lok on google maps and see where we are and how far we've gone.

The little picture is me overtaking a small coaster just South of the Isle of Wight around 1300 today.

At 1200 BST today I was in the English Channel, 53nm to the South West of Beachy Head (Lat 50°20'N Long. 000°01'W)

Steaming Time = 23h40m

Distance run = 313nm

Av. Speed = 13.2 knots

Total Distance = 313nm

Overall Av Speed = 13.2Knots
