Weather summary:
Steady 1 ½ meter swell from the north west, cloudy and misty
Today's activities:
After the excitement of our departure and the passing of a huge iceberg last night that was 25 miles long, most had a sleepy morning today. Brett was ever watchful for some sea birds to photograph but it has been slim pickings at this stage. After discussions with the captain and first mate the consensus seems to be that we will arrive in Hobart on the evening of the 27th or the morning of the 28th. We are well out of the ice now and should cross the 60 degree south mark overnight. The most entertaining place to hangout in these conditions is on the bridge, where you can view the swell crashing into the bow and spraying up over the cabin glass. It also provides a dry place to stand and get a good fix on the horizon, although most of us are regaining our sea legs now.
Warm wishes from the MHF team
