The Poles on board Bank BPH are getting more confident in the lively Southern Ocean conditions and in the 24 hours leading up to 0745 this morning have notched up 408 miles - the first run of this size of their voyage (and not the last we hope). This morning will see the former Assa Abloy pass the Cape of Good Hope and into the Indian Ocean. At present they are riding to the north west of the giant Southern Ocean depression Geronimo is to the north of.
