We continue to make good progress, although the “furious fifties” are having one last lash at us and trying to make conditions as uncomfortable as possible. As predicted the swell and wind picked up overnight, and with them hitting us almost directly side on, they made the ship do some pretty big side to side rolls during the night. This makes sleeping rather interesting and there were quite a few bleary eyed people at breakfast this morning, evidence that not much sleep may been had last night by quite a few onboard.
Today conditions remain pretty much the same, although as the day goes on the wind and swell tending to be a little more behind us now instead of directly side on, not enough to get rid of the big rolls though, but it is improving.
As we get closer to Hobart we are starting to think about all the things we need to be doing in regards to packing up equipment and cabins, returning issued clothing, cleaning etc which should keep the upcoming days relatively busy.
Finally, happy birthday to my mum Beryl. Hope you are having a cracker of a day!
Cheers,
Deepy and Brett.
