The weather was the main trouble this trip. Either as large swell causing problems like broken distance ropes or fog preventing us from going out in the work boat. We brought all the gear onboard during the first part of the trip due to the ongoing problems in the engine room after drydock in April last year. We got 30 hrs in Eden NSW. For me it was nice getting to know the crew when off work as well. The last part of the trip the crew showed the clients what they were made of (it's really hard to stay off those chocolate cookies when sitting on-line all the time).

The food onboard was extremly good thanks to the two new cooks. It was really difficult not having it all, but the plates were too small. Normally you can tell what day it is by looking at the menu, but not onboard here! A new menu everyday and also a new "quote of the day" as well (Hire a teenager now, while they still know everything).
