Comments

Most expeditioners are up and about getting to know or reacquainting themselves with the Aurora Australis; spending time on the bridge, meeting with colleagues or getting fresh air out on the helideck.

For this leg nearly all have the luxury of their own cabin and as always the excellent fare provided by the galley is bringing everyone together for a chance to chat and get to know one another.

PCs and mobiles have been connected to the ship’s wireless network making for easy communication around the vessel and back home, and allowing many to get on with their work as we travel south.

Grey skies and seas mean the fancy cameras remain in their cases!


Planning continues for our visit to Casey.

Cheers

Andy, Brett, Dave, James
