Comments

After a night of water bottles dislodging themselves from desk tops and then rolling around the cabins, sea conditions have eased a little, making for a slightly more comfortable (and quiet) ride. The few who dare to venture outside are greeted with warmer temperatures and some added humidity. With air temperatures of 5 degrees Celsius, it's a relative warmth. We're turned to a more eastly direction, a direct line across the bottom of Australia, pointing squarely at Hobart. Now less than 2000nm (3700km) away, it's only slightly more than a trip from Perth to Brisbane, not far at all!
