Comments
We awoke to another sunny and calm day on the southern ocean. The water temperature is now up to a balmy +10 degrees.
Overnight we returned to the roaring forties which are proving to be unusually quiet. On an ordinary return trip to Hobart, we would consider ourselves to be in home waters at this latitude but Fremantle is a full 10 degrees further north than Hobart and we still have some way to go.
The Aurora Australis continues to crank out the nautical miles and we continue to pack up.
