February 24, 2008 - Sailing to Antarctic: At sea
by Kate Laird

63:69S 64:90W. Quiet day now. Wind coming more on the nose, but lessening considerably. About to pick up the GRIBs. It is considerably colder than it was yesterday, what with the SW wind and wind more forward than it was.

After a passage of continual gale force winds and clouds, we had an amazing night last night. Clearish skies and extremely bright stars and moon. It was a pleasure to be helming. We kept watch on the radar for icebergs, but didn't see any.
