Comments
The closing days of a voyage are a time for deep personal reflection. Not only upon the immense journey that we have undertaken but also upon the vast amount of paperwork required to get the ship back into Australia and bring the voyage to a proper administrative conclusion.
The Aurora Australis now less than 800 nautical miles from Hobart and continuing to make excellent progress in very generous weather conditions.
