Comments

Another clock change last night, to UTC+10, has us only one hour behind Hobart time now. And no, that's not the most exciting thing that's happened out here today. Both the wind and seas have been more on the port beam than forecast, and consequently, our comfortable ride has become less comfortable. This has had little effect on our speed, but combined with the time change has made the first two meals of the day seem poorly attended. Outside, the weather can best be described as "uninspiring", with light drizzle and reduced visibility, such that the seabirds don't even seem to be able to find us today. Hmmm. On reflection, maybe that clock change was the highlight... We remain on schedule to berth in Hobart at 1000hrs on Sunday 3 December 2017.
Regards, Doug & Andrew
