Comments

We’ve been pitching and rolling since we left Macquarie Island yesterday. Most expeditioners have been lying down in their bunks with a few reading in the passenger lounge. The continual wave action has seen the Doctor making the rounds to check on passengers. Some have been feeling the effects of mal de mer. We had a good showing at breakfast but not so many for lunch today. A nice steak. A few passengers have been strolling up to the bridge to watch the sea and pass some time. All on board are looking forward to our arrival in Hobart on Sunday.

REGARDS: Martin and Mark
