I'm not sure we're going to break the Davis-Hobart run record, but we'll go close, especially considering we had ice to contend with early on. The good old Aurora has a "clean bottom" (ie hull scrapped clean by ice) and hasn't gone this fast for this long in years we reckon. The only run that would beat us would be one where Davis was free of ice, so we may be the fastest V1 return trip ever. Perhaps an historian can come up with an answer for that one (Sarah L.?). Today is "Monster Clocks", where we lose the 4 extra hours our lives gained on the way down to Davis in one horrible jet-laggy moment. After lunch today, one o'clock becomes five o'clock, and we are as one (time-wise) with the east coast of Australia (UTC+11). In practical terms, lunch blurs into dinner, although dinner tonight will be a serve yourself affair of cold meats and salads. I'm sure we'll survive.
