Comments

After the lull of the past week or so, the ship is a hive of activity with the sound of vacuuming and cleaning cabins, return of Antarctic clothing and general preparations for our arrival tomorrow. The fantastic weather has continued leading to some expeditioners breaking out the board-shorts and thongs and sunning themselves on deck. What better way to sit back and reflect on the friendships forged and experiences had in a world away from home. Thanks to all crew and expeditioners on this voyage, around $4000 was raised for Camp Quality with special acknowledgement to those who shaved their heads for the cause. All on board are greatly looking forward to our arrival in Hobart tomorrow. We expect to be alongside Macquarie Wharf #3 at 0700hrs, Thursday 2 December 2010.
REGARDS: Karin, Sharon & Lance
