The technicians are on schedule for realigning the seals and expect to be finished around 2200.   At 0600, the ship’s engines will be started and the shaft engaged to test the seals.  We expect to depart at 1600.  The technicians will depart with the ship and stay aboard until the chief engineer and myself are satisfied.   We expect to arrive in Cork, Ireland on schedule.  Starting Monday afternoon, the Captain’s Log will be updated daily. 

Sincerely,

Captain Sam Stephenson
Master, Texas Clipper II
