Comments

Averaged just over 16 knots since leaving Hobart yesterday afternoon, in very gentle conditions. Only a few people feeling a bit quesy, otherwise a very gentle introduction to the Southern Ocean. As this is written, we're only a few miles off the first mooring site, and work will soon commence. Conditions are looking good for retrieving the mooring today, if communication can be established. REGARDS Doug & Rob
