Comments

Yesterday we were experiencing some heavy rolling on the ship as a 5-6m westerly swell arrived on our beam! It was very nice for all of us to wake up this morning to a ship virtually without motion in the calm waters of the Derwent River. Hobart has turned on a cracker day of sunshine and light winds and while waiting to berth we have enjoyed a BBQ on the helicopter deck.

It's been a terrific voyage. Safe, efficient and fun. Thanks to all involved on the ship, the station and back here in Hobart.

We are soon to heave anchor, berth in Hobart and be reunited with family and friends.

Cheers,

Robb, Nicki, Aaron and Eliza.
