Moderate conditions prevailed throughout the reporting period providing smooth sailing conditions. Time changed back last night for final time and we are now on Mawson time. Preparations underway for our arrival with planning meetings with ships crew and briefings for passengers. ETA known ice edge around 1000 Local time tomorrow. Awaiting advice on outcome predicted strong winds at Mawson today to determine what may be feasible on our arrival Mawson area. Presentation last night from Jak Denny on underwater diving photography - very spectacular. All passengers continue to travel well. REGARDS Richard and Jenny
