Comments

The calm seas have continued and the warmer temperatures and sunshine are enticing a few expeditioners out on deck. In stark contrast with this balmy weather we are still sighting numerous ice-bergs both overnight and this morning. A full moon last night, rising eerily behind the clouds, saw some expeditioners up in the wee hours of the morning capturing their last Kodak moments for the trip. This morning, two black-browed albatross were spotted following the ship as we continue to head on a north-easterly track in light winds and calm seas. All on board are hoping these conditions will continue for the remainder of the voyage.
Regards, Karin, Sharon & Adam
