Comments

The good conditions continue to favour us and we maintained good speed during the reporting period averaging 16.35 knots. The last of the CSIRO Argos buoys were deployed. Clothing returns were completed and we will finish the voyage with the traditional BBQ dinner tonight. This will be the last report and Jenny and I on behalf of all the passengers who have travelled on the voyage as well as the expeditioners on station would like to thank the Master Tony Hansen, the officers and crew for their excellent help and support throughout the various aspects of the voyage. All pax are looking forward to arriving at Mac 4 tomorrow. REGARDS Richard and Jenny
