Once again I woke to the sun streaming into my cabin and once again it did not last but the sun has been making appearances all day along with the occasional snow shower. The snow shower appeared when all expeditioners were being briefed on the Voyage Operations Plan for Voyage 5 and watching mandatory videos on how to deploy life rafts in an emergency and cyber security in the marine industry.
We are making good headway and our transit remains relatively calm with the ship gently rolling with only the occasional lump that lets us know that we are in the Southern Ocean. If you are monitoring the sitreps you will see that the temperature is steadily decreasing – a sign that it should not be too long before we see our first iceberg so I expect more visits for longer periods of time being spent there with eyes peeled for the first sighting. Our ETA (estimated time of arrival) is early morning of the 2nd January.
Thank you to those who reminded me that we are not actually 10,866nm from Casey as I wrote in yesterday's sitrep. It should have been 1086nm and thank you to our AAD Shipping Rep for correcting my error.
Cheers,
Leanne and Jacob
