Comments

Today we feel a sense of anticipation for what will be a welcomed arrival back to civilisation. The seas are calm with overcast skies while wandering albatross circle in the distance. Too far off for the camera phone to make out their beauty so we watch instead. Plans are well under for what will be a busy few days of packing bags, cleaning cabins, and finalising paper work.

Some were disappointed not to find pizza for dinner last night, however homemade enchiladas with chocolate cake for desert made up for it. It was also nice to share a drink (non-alcoholic) with friends on the 04 deck. Although grey and overcast, a game of hacky-sack, Pilot whales passing by, and good company made up for the weather. A few rounds of 500 after dinner made for a nice way to end the day.

Only one Sit-Rep to come for Voyage 6 (not that we are counting).



REGARDS: Sam and Anthony
