Comments
Yesterdays departure went smoothly and on time. We had our first expeditioner briefing/meeting before hitting open seas in the knowledge that sea conditions would rapidly reduce the number of interested people! Our course has been westerly in an attempt to pass north of the worst of the weather. This appears to have succeded. Two briefings were held today to start the planning process for Davis.
Cheers from Andy Mick and Karen
