Comments
Rolling around a little bit more today but otherwise no surprises out here – still reminiscent of ground hog day. The daily game of hacky sac on the helideck was postponed today after falling prey to our nemesis this trip – high winds. Three magnificent albatross were following us as the group retired to the warmer inner confines of the ship. Preparations are now being made for our arrival in to Hobart’s Macquarie 4 wharf next week, with the coming days full of sorting, packing, returning equipment and of course cabin cleaning. Cheers, Nicki, Rob and Peter.
