Comments

Since emerging from the icebergs of the Petersen Bank it's been fully steam ahead, the ship pointing directly towards our destination, Hobart. They say the faster you go the more you see, and that appears to be true, with numerous sightings of orca and humpback whales. With the fortune of calm seas, the crew on board settles into the familiar routines of ship board life. This comprising largely of watching movies, reading, playing chess, napping and continuing to enjoy the fine cuisine coming from the ship's galley.

REGARDS: Anthea and Misty
