Comments

Our final day at sea is considerably calmer, thankfully. We have the southern tip of Tasmania in sight and are currently directly abeam of Pedra Branca, a single point of rock sticking straight up out of the ocean, that would be well known to many who've sailed south. Final preparations for our arrival are well in hand. It has been a very successful voyage and we'd like to thank everybody aboard the ship, and ashore, for their efforts in making it so. ETA Hobart 0800 hours alongside Princess Intermediate Wharf. Regards, Tony, Dave and Petra.
