Comments

Well the Southern Ocean sure put on a show as swells peaked at 10 metres accompanied by + 60kts winds, it was a sight to see and I'm sure a story to be told and as most sea going stories go will lend it itself to amplification over time. AIVIQ stood tall and strong and weathered the storm well and is now making good speed towards Davis.

Today as we didn't need to brace or hold on with arms, legs, and abs, we were able to work through a few of our last checklist items. We remain excited for the first ice berg sighting and also for the crossing of 60-degree south latitude tomorrow.

REGARDS: Christine & Bloo
