Comments

We continue the transit back to Hobart. We continue to experience strong winds and a large swell. We will be having a social evening after dinner tonight when we will draw the winning tickets in a raffle which has been organised to raise funds for Camp Quality a charity supported by the Aurora Australis crew and all who sail on her.

All on board are remarkably well considering the sea conditions.

Our ETA into Hobart is 1600hrs on Sunday 25 January 2015. The vessel will be berthing at Macquarie No. 4 Wharf Hobart.

Cheers

Tony & Lloyd
