Atlantic Odyssey - At sea to Gough Island

8th April 2026

We were now scheduled to be at sea until the 12th April heading towards the Tristan Da Cunha island group with our first stop being Gough Island. The heading of the ship was still  being expertly steered to avoid the worst of the weather system that was also tracking in the direction we were headed.

On the morning of the 8th April we were 125 nautical miles north-east from South Georgia and had maintained an average speed of 9.9 knots.
