Comments

Another night of rolling decks kept many in their bunks again this morning. Seas have eased a little during the day allowing a few to emerge, blinking from their cabins to see what tasty treats the cooks and calorie corner had to offer.
The weather forecast has us following a weather system all the way back to Hobart, or is it following us? Either way we have swell pushing us toward our target which by one "report" had us moving at speeds of up to 20 knots over night! The seas should gradually drop off for us though as we approach the welcome sight of old Hobart town.
Spring cleaning has begun in earnest starting with a good going over of the galley, thanks to the assistance of the boating crew. The mess area is the target for tomorrow giving some lucky "volunteers" the opportunity to get some much needed exercise.
Meanwhile in cinema land, presentations and series bingeing continue.
Regards,
