Comments

A quiet start to the weekend. An icing sugar-like dusting of snow on the decks this morning quickly melted, and we seem to have left the icy realm behind us, with no 'bergs visible. All on board are travelling well, with the slight swell we are enjoying hardly providing a challenge to us seasoned round-tripping sea-dogs, nor the retired wintering Davis crew.
Regards, Doug & Andrew
