Comments

It is a windy, wavy day today. We are currently travelling through a thick sea mist and horizontal snow. The warmth and comfort of the bridge is particularly inviting on days like these.

AIVIQ's Chief Engineer will take several of the Mawson and Davis expeditioners for a guided tour of the engine room this afternoon. It is arguably the best place to be in rough weather; the roll of the ship is far less pronounced that far down.

Today is 'Rockstar' Mick's birthday. Not many people can claim to have had a birthday in the middle of the Southern Ocean! The Chefs have been busy preparing a salted caramel cheesecake to celebrate the occasion.


REGARDS: Sam and Anthony
