Comments

We continue on schedule for our arrival in Hobart at 0800hrs Friday.

Last night the presentation on board was given by Hannah who gave us an overview of the workings of the Antarctic Treaty and the various bodies which operate under it. It stimulated some robust and interesting discussion amongst those who attended. Thanks Hannah.

This evening after dinner there will be a pre-arrival briefing followed by a special evening where art works created during the voyage and on station will be auctioned on board for charity. We will then be entertained by the newly formed Voyage 3 band. The entertainment committee of Bill, Tom, Cath, Stuart, Hannah Merrin and Joe have done a great job in organising events for us since we left Davis. The Voyage 3 T shirt has been designed and our orders placed. Special thanks to Scott and Julie for pulling that all together.

We are counting down the hours now.

Cheers Tony and Simon
