Comments
A good night’s sleep was had by all due to the subdued conditions from the previous night. After being drenched in salt water, the ship appeared to enjoy a fresh water wash from the intermittent morning showers.
A good morning with abated seas was cheered with the appearance of a double rainbow off the bow of the ship. We took advantage of the calm conditions to complete the environmental briefings and boot washing for both the crew and expeditioners.
Highlight of the Day: Aurora Souvenir Shop and DVD Bar Opening
REGARDS: Sharon, Fred and Kerry
