Hi All,
 
Just to let you know that (as of 0300UTC) we became aware of Tropical Storm Grace that is developing in our current position.  I have been monitoring the weather very closely over the last 3 days.  Weather Fax alerts have the storm moving North of our current position at 25knots towards the South of Ireland.  We currently have Northwest to West winds (12 knots) which puts us out of harms way on the South side of the storm.
 
Our current heading has us moving toward Northwest Spain (for shelter if required) and on the safe side of the storm.
 
NOTE:  There is NO cause for alarm and we are (and will continue to be) all safe and well!!  We will keep you informed of our positon and status regularly.
 
Cheers
 
Blake, Clarissa, Sasha, Andrew, Mark and Steve.
