Ship Update: Sørlandet got underway yesterday afternoon from our berth in Amsterdam and we proceeded to wind our way back out the North Sea Canal. Once back out into the North Sea, the fog closed in and a cold north wind put a chill in the air. Now we continue to steam to the NW with dozens of oil rig platforms and all types of vessel traffic, but the sea state is quite calm, making for easy motoring.
