Comments
Continued good progress and the ship remains a hive of activity. The Ping Pong competition is delivering some glorious victories and crushing defeats, while other competitors are avoiding the inevitable. The CPR is being towed behind us, recording plankton levels in the ocean through which we are sailing. We are in slightly more lumpy conditions now, but still pleasant sailing towards the ice and the first, yet to be sighted, iceberg. Regards Robb, Andy and Susan
