Comments

Vessel is rolling gently. Many people have now come out of resting mode and are up and about – the corridors are becoming busy and the restaurant finally more crowded. Much action is being seen in the laundry in preparation for packing, which will be more pleasant for Customs or AQIS inspections of our bags on arrival. There was another aurora in the sky above us last night. Clocks moved forward another hour last night (now UTC+10) – only one more to go until we are back on Hobart time. The countdown of how many sleeps to go is now well underway – our ETA is 08:00 alongside Macquarie 4 Wharf on Thursday 20th March. Cheers, Nicki, Rob and Peter.
