Comments

The rhythm at sea is now part of our daily routine. We continue to push into an opposing current, stiff breeze, and a moderate sea on the bow. It is generally quite comfortable with a bit of movement just to keep you on your toes and remind us "three points of contact at any time" to ensure you remain upright.

We have a few more activities planned, tonight we have scheduled "International Nght" showing movies or slides of some our favourite adventures outside of Antarctica. Tomorrow we head back to an Antarctica theme with a premier of the 1950s film, "Blue Ice" on the formation of Mawson Station.
