Comments

An emergency muster drill was conducted today. These occur regularly on every voyage to ensure that in the event an incident occurs that all personnel know what to do and where to go.

It is interesting watching the waves crash over the bow of the ship as we make our way south. The water sometimes hits my cabin window and or the bridge windows which looks pretty cool. The down side of this is that the ship is rolling quite a bit and has been since leaving the Derwent River in Hobart 3 days ago. Last night it was difficult to sleep but hopefully tonight will be better.

Cheers
Leanne, Simon and Amy
