Comments

The weather has finally caught us. Although we’ve covered a lot of miles in the last 24 hours, our distance made good towards Hobart hasn’t been all that great. We’ve been forced to head further north (and even west) to get behind a low pressure system, and hope to turn on a more easterly course later today. Being Saturday, we had a muster drill, which at least had the effect of getting us all up and about, and out on deck for a bit of fresh air.

Regards, Doug and Penny
