Comments
We have been fortunate to continue to have calm seas today, and with the air temperature in the positive it has been rather pleasant out on deck. One expeditioner was even seen sun-baking on the heli-deck making the most of the relative warmth. So far we have been making good progress. However, we expect the seas to pick up this evening into tomorrow. Today is one of the returning winterer’s birthdays, so what better excuse to have a special occasion with ‘beers & burgers’ on the menu this evening.
REGARDS: Karin, Sharon & Lance
