Comments

Yesterday was a rocking and rolling day. It was the roughest day we have had this voyage. It was our 60th day on board the Happy Diamond so it is pretty incredible it took that long to have the worst seas on the voyage . Thankfully the ocean has settled down and we are comfortably travelling along in a 2 metre swell but my drink bottle still manages to fall over on my desk occasionally.

As the weather was bit rough yesterday and with the snow showers and mist stopping any of the amazing Southern Ocean views and it being Sunday yesterday was pretty quiet.

Last night we turned our clocks forward 1 hour and we are now 5 hours behind Hobart (UTC +6).

Everyone on board is safe and well as we continue our way back to Hobart.

Cheers
Leanne and Jacob
