Comments
A quiet first day at sea in delightful conditions. We managed to get away an hour earlier than we thought we might yesterday, gliding under the Tasman Bridge and down the Derwent River before dark. It's a very uncrowded vessel as we head to Davis and Casey to pick up the summer crews, with only 5 round-trippers, 4 Davis winterers, and 24 ship's crew. All settling in well.
