Comments
About 70 people moved into action last night to attend the quiz night, with a variety of general knowledge and Antarctic questions. The final round involved matching photos of an item from people’s cabins to the person who owned it – it’s a scary reflection on people’s powers of observation when some teams got most of them right! Today has been occupied mostly with packing up and sitting outside soaking up the relative warmth of our 10 degree day with a hint of sunshine. ETA alongside Macquarie No. 4 wharf, Hobart, at 0800 Thursday 20 March 2008. Cheers, Nicki, Rob and Peter.
