Comments

If we thought the sea conditions in the Southern Ocean could not get any smoother we were wrong, as we woke to millpond conditions this morning. Last night Tui entertained us with a re-run of part 2 of her presentation, Galapagos – Darwin’s Legacy, followed by a compilation of her amazing photos she has taken over the entire voyage including Amanda Bay Emperor penguin rookery and the general area around Davis station. Anticipation is building for our arrival back in Hobart, now 1500hrs on Saturday 26th November 2011 alongside Macquarie No. 3 Wharf. Only one more clock change – yeah!!! REGARDS: Sharon and Leanne
