Comments
King Neptune paid a (messy) visit yesterday, which is always nice. Had the obligitory charity head shaving extravaganza, and managed to raise a few thousand dollars for Camp Quality. Our first iceberg last night at 2345 ship's time, and it was a beauty: lots of excited folk up on the bridge as we came very close to a 500 m or so long tabular berg, right on our track, and played the spotlight across it in the post-twilight gloom. Expecting to be amongst the sea ice later today. REGARDS Doug & Rob
