Comments

The last 24 hours has seen the ship experiencing very rough seas and a heavy swell from the SW. Life on board has revolved around maintaining your balance, hanging onto the table and your meal in the mess at meal times and generally coping with living and getting around on a moving ship. Final preparations are continuing for our arrival into Wellington on Monday morning.

REGARDS:
Hully, Sarah and Nick
