Comments

Normal sailing the last 24 hours. Aurora advanced clocks by a further hour overnight. We are now on hour behind Tasmania.

A happy Easter to everyone back home from everyone aboard.

Expeditioners & crew awoke this morning to find the Easter Bunny / Bilby / Berg-bird had visited their cabins, leaving behind a trail of tasty treats........the morning sugar-hit followed-up with delicious chocolate hot-crossed buns thanks to the catering team.

Aurora is making good progress as we approach the Antarctic convergence zone, with temperatures rising and sea & weather conditions remaining generally fine thus far.
