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.
