Hi Peter, I for one value this kind of feedback. Other comments are also welcome.
Very valid point. I wonder why nobody thought of this earlier. I am sure we will take this one on board for our next one, maybe even designing the registration so that it does answer all the questions. A cap has to be set that meets the crew strength. Also, glad to hear that we have a "tea-lady" for our next one ;-) Many of us really would have needed it last time.
