Comments

Departed Hobart at 1805 Eastern Summer Time on Saturday after a delay caused by an engine valve problem. Many thanks for the send off (especially those who were able to wait!) and to all those who contributed to getting us all away in so many ways. Exceptional weather today with almost flat seas plus plenty of sunshine and as a result everyone is travelling well. Forecast for the next 48 hours is for closer to 'normal' Southern Ocean weather though! Will provide an initial ETA at the Casey fly-off point in a couple of days once things settle down and we get a better read on the weather. Clocks will go back one hour on Sunday evening to Eastern Summer Time minus one hour. E-mail downloads on Monday are scheduled for: 1100, 1545 and 2200 Eastern Summer Time. Its a big 'YIKLA'here!! REGARDS Martin and Chris
