Reporting in from Voyager at 12:20 pm, Friday, Hong Kong time.

Capt. Dag requested an earlier arrival time but was denied. We've had favorable winds and currents since leaving Shanghai and he had a "few miles in his pocket," and requested to pick up a pilot at 11:00 a.m. He's not sure if the denial was due to heavy harbor traffic or no space at the inn (dock).

Therefore, we pick up the pilot at 3:00 and Capt. Dag estimates we will be alongside the Ocean Terminal by 4:00 and able to leave the ship by 5:00 pm. In prep, we all had our temperature checks this a.m.!

Still not much visibility, but at least the temp has climbed above 60 degrees.
