Comments
Overnight we encountered some quite heavy and thick ice which slowed us down a little. However in the morning we were able to find some large leads of open water that has allowed us to continue to make good progress through the pack ice. Tui has been kind enough to repeat some of her talks that she presented on the southbound leg of the voyage. Everyone is fascinated with her life stories, experiences and photographs. All are looking forward to part two of the Galapagos Islands presentation. REGARDS: Sharon and Leanne
