Comments
For some of the 127 people onboard the journey home is a well earned break and chance to get used to the idea of 'people' and 'having to pay for things'. For the ships galley and stewards its a different story, with three cooked meals and smoko to prepare, serving areas, the restaurant, galley, corridors, stairwells and laundry to scrub clean every day.
This afternoon we will fire up the second donk (engine) to try and pick up a bit more speed in the hope we can still get home on time. No promises at this point. Neptune still has a hand to play...
Cheers
Andy and Misty
