Comments

It was a lovely trip out of the River Derwent last night – some of us pointing out where we grew up and friends sending us photos taken of the ship as we passed. One of our keen eyed expeditioners spied a 'school' of red jelly fish on our transit down the south east coast of Tassie along with some playful dolphins enjoying the wake of the ship.

The seas so far have been kind to us and all are travelling very comfortably. The gentle rolling of the ship creates a sleep inducing feeling or is it the effects of the sea sick tablets. Regardless a good night sleep was had last night.

Cheers,

Leanne and Jacob
