Comments
No speed bumps in the Southern Ocean today. The ship hums along with only the gentlest of rolls. People who have not been seen for days are up and about looking pleased with themselves. All good as we get closer and closer to home... It’s rumoured that we may see “The King” (Neptune, that is, not Elvis) this afternoon. The estimated time of Aurora Australis is 7am Saturday 16 April 2011.
