Comments
At 1800 local time yesterday we left the pack ice and into open water. We are now well on our way to Hobart. There was excitement on the bridge yesterday when we reached this milestone on our return voyage. We had been in the pack ice for 15 days.
Tonight we will have a social occasion to celebrate our exit from the ice. The ships clocks will be forwarded one hour overnight.
Cheers Tony and Mike
