Comments

Very little has changed since yesterday. The weather is much the same and so is the scenery! We are making good time in relatively mild conditions and a following sea, although we are steering a more northerly course to avoid the worst of an approaching deep low. Report writing and packing continues in earnest. We conducted a FRRF at 1300 and continue to tow the CPR. Our arrival in Hobart is scheduled for the morning of Wednesday 17th October. We will board the pilot at 0700 and will be alongside Princes Wharf at 0800. Regards, Tony, Dave and Petra.
