Comments

After all tucking into Mick's delicious birthday cheesecake last night, a number of people stuck around in the mess to play 500. There were two games going and it got quite feisty, with multiple open mizarres and 10-trick sweeps.

Today, the sea fog has thickened and it is quite an eerie feeling sailing into the unknown. Luckily, we are out of iceberg territory and have a relatively open passage between us and Hobart. The only thing in our way is some slightly wavy weather. Conditions are forecast to pick up slowly tonight and continue to build throughout tomorrow. It is nothing compared to what we experienced on the way down, but it will still certainly be rolly with 6m waves hitting our port side.
