Ice Dancer 10/24/05: Eye on the weather

Email relayed from Ice Dancer:

At 9:30 a.m. we are at 24 05N 153 05W, steering 045 true.  Skies are
sunny, but it hard to say what the cold front shown on this morning's
weather chart will bring.  We had quite a bit of rain last night.

A bulk carrier bound for the far east from Panama crossed in front of
us around midnight.  We picked it up on radar eight miles out, talked
to the skipper, slowed and altered our course to let him pass.

All is ok, here.
