We still have that 30 knot head wind trying to keep us from getting south and keeping us down to 8 to 9 knots and yes, it’s still bumpy out here.

Last night we had a well-attended trivia night hosted by Paige with questions covering sport, music and general knowledge from each decade ranging from the 1960’s through to the current decade (the teenies?) Teams included “Team Onè” , “The Southerly Busters”, “Hard Yakka” and “The Frequency Domain”. The youngsters in the crowd sat astonished as the old timers dredged up obscured sporting facts from a time when even their parents weren’t alive. In the end, Team Onè out-embarrassed everyone else with a disturbingly detailed knowledge of Delta Goodrem’s body of work as well as the TV show Sea Change.


This morning we had an emergency muster and fire drill with Stacey playing the part of the missing expeditioner. She was duly recovered from the tween decks by the crew and was seen at lunch shortly afterwards.

Clocks went back 1 hour last night. We are now on UTC+9. There are a few more clock changes to go before we are on Mawson time.
