Comments

Since last evening the weather has calmed somewhat, with more people up and about today as the ship gently rolls along on her course to Hobart. Our ETA has now been confirmed as late AM Thursday 15 March, subject of course to the usual vagaries of weather and working machinery.The details of our arrival plan are beginning to emerge with the old adage of 'plan early, plan twice' being adhered to. Last night we were treated to music with dinner when Watercraft Supervisor Chris O provided background music to the couple who won a 'dinner for two' at Saturdays Charity Auction. Unfortunately due to the weather they were unable to enjoy it in a private location, so they had their romantic dinner in the port side mess with about 30 of their new best friends.

Regards

Andy, Sharon and Chris
