Comments

This morning we were awoken to the vessel rolling and heaving in rough
seas, the first bouncy weather of the voyage. Unfortunately the rolling
had to be endured until we were clear of two ice bergs between which we
had to sail, at which point it was possible to adjust our course for a
more comfortable ride. We are making good time for Davis Station.

Crew and passengers alike are resting in preparation for the
preparations for Davis which will start soon!

Cheers Andy, Brett, Dave, James
