Chief Engineer reports that electrical system is 100% operational and correct. He confirms that the lightbulbs are cheap and nasty and advices that an alternative to Asda light bulbs be obtained. He also recommends long life halogen bulbs which consume less power too. Told him to fuck off as they are three quid a piece.
We will surface today to get some fresh air, conditions above are pleasant so we will take this opportunity to get some sun on our pale faces

External diving team inspected the SFA antenna and all seemed ok. Noticed that barnacles are already making the MV Muff Divers hull home. Water Temp 8C

Breakfast with the crew, morale is high. Ben Dover & Dick Hertz are excited about their programme feature starring Sponge Bob Squarepants and Patrick. German DJ Hans Downapantz seems a little out of place and rarely joins in with the banter on board. This could be purely down to his German Personality or lack of Grolsh he keeps complaining about. Put a request in to HQ for a shipment of 6 crates to see if that cheers the miserable sod up. Our new News Reader, Ringer, has settled in very well performing Queens 'I want to break free' on Ben Dover's Karaoke machine last night in the 'Urchin' Bar.

Light bulbs blowing again in the Galley and Cabin access areas. Probably cheap light bulbs from Asda the cause. Have informed Cheif Engineer to investigate.
