Comments
Ship pitching moderately. Another extra hour added to our day last night; ship time is UTC+8. We’re on a more westerly course now, having avoided the severe low pressure system that passed to our north yesterday. Field training has commenced for Davis expeditioners, and any other interested folks as well. The iceberg sweep is up on the notice board in the restaurant, and all onboard are starting to anticipate the arrival of ice as we head further south into colder conditions.
All the best, Doug and Dave
