We continue to thump through the Southern Ocean towards Hobart. Thump is not a nautical term but it best describes our progress as we push in to both wind and sea coming from ahead of us. Not much sleep last night for many on board. Watching the pitch and roll graph on the ship is macabrely fascinating.
Our arrival is planned for 30 March with us being alongside at 6:00pm and enjoying an arrival ceremony at Red Square (16 Evans St) at 7:30pm after customs and quarantine processes are complete. See you there!
Here's a few numbers from our time at Macca:
Days of operations at Macca: 10
Loads sent ashore: 147
Loads sent to ship: 209
Fuel pumped ashore: 186,700 litres.
