Comments
The good weather and moderate sea conditions continue as does the smooth sailing. First iceberg sighted yesterday at 59.03, 119.38 - the winner of the iceberg competition was Sandra Hodgson. Time changed back a further hour over night. Neptune agreed to visit this afternoon and arrangements are well in hand for his call. Last night's presentation was provided by Sarah Mills and she outlined the research program at Davis she will be working on. All passengers continue to travel well. REGARDS Richard and Jenny
