Weather summary: Seas around 2 meters, swell from the North West. Low cloud cover, about 20 - 25 knots of wind.
Today's activities:
We are now hovering around the southern convergence where the cold Antarctic waters meet the warmer waters from the north. This region is known for its abundant bird life. Brett has been scanning the horizon, but with the low cloud and sea mist around photographic opportunities have been hard to come by. We crossed the 56 degree south mark at 21:00 this evening. This morning the captain indicated that we should be in port at Hobart late on Sunday evening. The swell it predicted to swing to the west tomorrow which could make for an uncomfortable day at sea, as it will accentuate the rolling motion of the ship. We will soon see if we really do have our sea legs!
Warm wishes from the MHF team.
Peter McCabe Field Leader
