Comments
Ship moving easily in great conditions. There was some snow on the containers on the deck this morning, which has melted over the course of the day, as the overcast conditions gave way to a partly cloudy day, with some snow showers in the vicinity. We were treated to another spectacular aurora last night, which drew many people outside into the cold and wind to marvel at the display. The ship’s timezone is currently UTC+9, and we will retard the clocks another hour this evening. All well on board.
All the best, Doug and Dave
