Sitrep 25th January 2008

Weather summary:

Swell has persisted, still coming North East with the occasional westerly lump coming through. Plenty of spray in the air as the bow smashes its way through the waves. Air temp today was about 8 degrees.

Today's activities:

Although the swell has slowed us slightly, calculations still have us reaching Hobart at 19:00 on Sunday at the latest. Over night we will have crossed the fifty degree South mark. Brett and I started editing some video of our trip to give to the media upon our arrival on Sunday. We have all been swapping camera images with each other so we will have tons of picture to savour in years to come. Probably one of our roughest nights at sea coming up, all on board are keen to hit the sheltered waters.

Warm wishes from the MHF team.
