Comments

A lone wandering albatross glides effortless over calm seas. The air warm and even a few drops of rain. Unfamiliar sensations for those Davis winterers who have not felt warm winds or rain for over a year. With great anticipation and perhaps even a little trepidation, we look on track for an arrival into Hobart on Monday afternoon. While we are happy to be returning to family, friends, and new-found freedoms, many are wondering how the world may have changed during their time away. For now, we enjoy gentle seas, the chance to walk the decks of the AIVIQ for a few last times and contemplate what lies ahead.

REGARDS: Anthea & Samantha
