Comments

A little greyer today as we re-enter the roaring forties, but conditions are still silkily smooth as the Nuyina, harbinger of smooth seas and low winds continues to calm the troubled waters of the southern ocean. However, there is a hint on the weather charts that we may receive a slight comeuppance just before we reach home waters.

I notice that all three AAP vessels are within 350 miles of each other this morning. All converging on Tasmania.
The AAD shipping team must think Christmas is coming, but no, it's Australia Day.
