Comments

Normal sailing the last 24 hours.

A big happy birthday to our fearless leader, Andy 'Chunky' Cianchi from everyone aboard.

Ship's crew and expeditioners rising early enough (or those already on watch) were treated to a spectacular sunrise from the bridge - a great way to welcome in Chunky's birthday.

The Voyage Leader and Ship's Master have agreed to hold a special function this evening to welcome the Davis expeditioners aboard & celebrate their return home after a busy summer season.

Aurora expects to advance clocks by one hour this evening bringing us in line with Casey's time zone for the coming operation.

Cheers

Andy, Leanne and Mark
