Comments

A quiet day on passage with good weather and numerous sightings of weathered icebergs and marine life, including many whales. Onboard the pace is pretty casual with the Voyage Support Team progressing a range of administrative tasks including review and update of the RTA manifests, refurbishing and restowing equipment, and report writing. The good weather has allowed us to make good 16 knots which is about the best speed we can expect to make on passage. The expeditioners are having a relaxed time with an all-day Aussie Movie Marathon going on in the D-Deck recreation room.

Regards

Andy, Sharon and Chris
