Comments

An uncomfortable night in heavy seas, which satisfied a few people who were hopeful of photos of waves breaking over the bow, but the concensus this morning at breakfast was "OK, that's enough thanks". Most on board travelling well, judging by the amount of food being consumed. No icebergs since that one isolated berg the other day. REGARDS Doug and Nicki
