performance was satisfactory.



Appliances:
Copied from the Commander's Report -

The morning was a bit cold, and was found to be that the heater was
switched off. It would be better to tune the heat down instead of
switch it off, and hopefully in a real mission the temperature control
will be automatic. c (except
for the trivial toilet flush problem as usual).
