Comments

A somewhat messy encounter with King Neptune yesterday afternoon saw quite a few first-timers on the Southern Ocean spending some time on personal grooming. An evening "pasta and pizza" dinner, with Dean Martin crooning in the background, was a great way to wind down. We're still in good conditions, and making great speed towards Hobart, with a Saturday morning arrival confirmed. The ship is pitching more today than yesterday, but it's still a pretty comfortable ride. Estimated time of arrival is 7am Saturday 16 April.

REGARDS
