Comments

Last night we were privileged to take part in a quiz night organised by the great quiz master of the southern ocean. All proceeds raised will be donated to Camp Quality - thanks Roger and Cassie for your continued enthusiasm in organising fund raising functions and keeping us entertained on our journey. The weather continues to be kind to us, with today being mostly clear with the occasional passing snow shower. The following swell is making our transit feel amazingly calm and it is hard to believe we are in the middle of the Southern Ocean. For those lucky enough to be on the bridge this morning, they were fortunate to see three pigmy right whales passing by. Sighting of the Day: Lonesome Iceberg. REGARDS: Sharon and Leanne
