Comments

Life on board the ship remains quiet. The mess used to be full of people, noise and activity on the way down but now with fewer people on board it is so quiet and you never have to line up for your meals. This morning we woke to snow flurries that have continued on and off all day. Currently it is very misty outside, quite a contrast to the last week we spent at Davis during the resupply. A big hi to Jack and Grace. REGARDS: Sharon and Leanne
