Comments

Friday afternoon saw the first presentation in our onbaord lecture series - Seabirds by Gary Miller, which was enjoyed by many. An increase in the roll of the vessel has slowed a few people down and many are now most comfortably tucked up in their bunks with a book or DVD. Clocks were put back an hour last night, with only a couple of people mistakenly showing up an hour early for breakfast this morning. An emergency muster drill was completed in full Antarctic clothing this morning getting everyone out into the fresh air. First Mate Gary told us all how to survive in the sea before we all moved back inside to lunch, or bed. Cheers from Nicki, Rob and Peter.
