Greetings from the Tasman tourists,
Conditions on board settling down to normal - YM putting on his C Bligh act occasionally - his excuse is everyone but himself suffers from hearing loss justifying the yelling.
In the on-board resto the DG stew with Deb and peas seemed to go down well although the crew are fairly polite, and the cook did not have to do the dishes which is his usual punishment.
Sparkling deep blue seas, with white caps, a nice breeze and a well fed crew.
We are 30nm from the famous Lord Howe Is. But will not be stopping there.
Highlights are toast with peanut butter and tomato a' la Robert.
Your settling in crew
