Comments
The wind had eased yesterday but the roll of the ship continued through most of the day and night, making for some weary people this morning. We have started towing the CPR again and will do about 3 tows on the way home to Hobart. Ice bergs are now rarely seen and the air and sea temperature are rising steadily as we approach the convergence once again. Over the next day or so we will be on the lookout for the telltale low cloud and fog that often mark the convergence's location in the Southern Ocean. Yours Aye Robb and Simon
