Comments

A day full of briefings. Oh what we'd give for another week at sea! The ship still rolling around but more expeditioners up and about, sampling the culinary delights of P&O cuisine. Briefings and meetings taking up the bulk of the day, with a saftey muster at 1030; mandatory outside time. We're expecting arrival at Macquarie Island 1000 tomorrow morning. No whales, no ice, but albatross. We have albatross! Regard's Don and Brett
