Our passage eastwards continues with good progress being made despite some unfavourable wind and swell conditions yesterday. The sea is a bit kinder today hence our increased speed. The marine science continues with a broad program of activities conducted through out the day and into the night. Clocks were advanced one hour this morning, only seven more hours to catch up! The ship is now on UTC+4 which is seven hours behind Hobart time. In SITREP 335 I forgot to mention the great efforts put in by the Communications team and the Ship's Doctor during the resupply. A big thanks to Ian, Mick, Jane and Dr Andy for going above and beyond. On the wildlife front, we are currently being accompanied by a young Wandering Albatross apparently a rare sight for this far South. Other bird life spotted included Antarctic Petrels and Sooty Albatrosses. No whales have been sighted since our departure from the ice pack. All aboard doing well and more and more are starting to emerge from their cabins. Regards, Rob, Aaron and Mick
