Comments

It is a little quiet on board, another night with little sleep as during the night the seas continued rolling more than we would like. When you think you have found a position where you are coping with the rolling and to ensure you don’t become complacent a set of larger swells moves through.
Looking out of my port hole I can see the bow of the ship but not much further through the fog. It is also lightly snowing and a pair of what appears to be light sooty albatrosses are flying in formation.

A trivia contest has been organised for tonight which will be a lot of fun. Preparations are also well underway for a visit from the ruler of the Southern Ocean, King Neptune who will don us with his presence on Sunday.

Cheers Leanne and Mick
