Comments
We continued to be buffeted by ridiculously good weather out here and the water temperature has shot up another 4 degrees over night as we make our re-entry into the roaring forties. Even those expeditioners who had glumly predicted that they would be bed ridden for the ocean crossing have been making regular appearances at meals.
Quiz night was a big success with kudos due to not only to Michael Santarossa who organised it but also his mum, Rita, who fact checked the questions by email.
727 nautical miles to go; but hey... who's counting?
