Comments
Everyone has heard of the famous Sydney to Hobart yacht race, but now with the Aiviq setting sail from Hobart we have embarked on a unique two ship 'Hobart to Mawson' race. We may have the jump, but the prevailing westerly swell is against us along with the fact we may require the Aiviq's ice breaking ability to guide us through the Antarctic pack ice which lays between us and Mawson station... Godspeed to the crew and passengers aboard the Aiviq and may the best ship win!
Regards,
David and Jacob
