Comments
Mondays. I was never very fond of Mondays. So far, however, this one's been pretty good: we've just cruised past the two most spectacular castellated icebergs on the planet. I could be exaggerating, but they were pretty fantastic. Several gigabytes of photos taken in the last few minutes. Otherwise, all going well as we continue west towards our next encounter with serious sea ice. REGARDS Doug and Nicki
