Comments

After a rough day at sea yesterday as we passed through low pressure system, today is sunny and calm. 2nd engine cut in at 0400 for a sufficient period to guarantee our arrival on time, after slow progress yesterday. More people about today with a debrief on refuelling and clothing returns programmed for later in the day. A happy ship all now looking forward to arriving back in Hobart. Eta Alongside Macquarie # 3 Wharf Hobart 1230 Saturday. Once processed through quarantine expeditioners will be able to greet visitors and there will be a voyage certificate presentation ceremony on the wharf. Regards, Don and Brett
