Comments
Running with the wind, rough seas and swell, maintaining great speed.
The last clock change occurred overnight and we are now on the same time zone as Tasmania, Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+11).
The last of the ice on the decks has finally melted. I had previously guestimated it at 10 tons on the front decks but our wonderful 1st Mate calculated it was closer to 100 tons!
We are currently hoping to arrive in Hobart for the morning of Friday the 3 April but nothing is certain in the southern ocean!
Cheers,
Andy and Simon
