Due to favourable winds and a following sea we have made good progress and land sighted at 1030 EST. Outstanding weather for a leisurely cruise along the South West Coast. As this will be our last Sitrep I/We would like to thank the following....... Many thanks Geoff for the opportunity and for believing in me when there were those that didn't, it is very much appreciated. To Brett a consumate professional and a damn nice guy, many thanks for not only a smooth voyage but a fun and most enjoyable one as well 'ol boy and has been an absolute pleasure sailing with you. To all those both on the stations and back at home who contributed to this successful resupply voyage we'd like to say thankyou as without your help and support the job would have been much harder. And last but by no means least to the expeditioners that we've had the privelege to have sailed with this voyage many, many thanks for your efforts and input during this voyage, a better bunch of dedicated professionals you'd be hard pressed to find. Good luck in your future endeavours and we hope to have the pleasure of sailing with you again. Best regards, Micky & Brett.
