Comments

Definition of a quiet day at sea: today. The Continuous Plankton Recorder has its third deployment this morning. Coin tossing excitement on the bridge (tails wins, third mate loses). We continue to avoid bad weather. The horizon does not appear to be any closer, however with the scale set at 1:13,333,333 Tasmania just appears on the Endeavour navigation chart. VL struggles to flesh out Sitrep. ETA Alongside Princess Intermediate Wharf, 1530 Friday 1 December 2006. Regards from Doug and Nicki.
