Was a bit of a bumpy night last night as we cruised through the outskirts of a low pressure system which resulted in an increased swell and winds of around 35-40 knots blowing right on the nose of the ship. We avoided the worst of the weather though once again, which is always appreciated, and conditions throughout the course of today are gradually improving and we currently even have a bit f blue sky and sunshine again outside.
We are still passing very large and very spectacular ice bergs but otherwise it is nothing but open ocean from here till Hobart.
Overnight our clocks were advanced by 1 hour. The first of four advancements we'll make on the journey home to get us back onto Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time. Judging by how quiet it is around the ship today, it would seem that most passengers have decided that it would be a good idea to spend most of the day resting up in a bid to rectify the lost hours sleep they incurred overnight, and in preparation for the remaining three that are yet to occur.
Cheers,
Andrew and Mark
