Comments

Having crossed the 60° parallel this morning, we have left the icy waters behind. We imagine the air feels just that bit warmer and a hint night-time darkness has begun. So far, conditions are favourable, but we all know this will not last. We enjoy the calm seas while we can. Tonight, we advance our clocks one hour, a change we will have to make 4 times before we arrive in Hobart.
