Comments
An amazing 24 hrs of millpond like conditions has seen us make excellent progress, welcome relief from the previous days. Large kelp rafts, a plethora of birds and many penguin, whale, dolphin and even a fur seal sighting during the day. ETA Heard Island at 0500 ship time tomorrow if current conditions persist. Forecast appears favorable for some landing operations tomorrow. REGARDS Robb and the team.
