The weather hasn’t been that great lately. We’ve had a series of frontal systems passing through bringing gales from all directions. This morning, an occluded front brought a period of heavy snow with reasonably calm conditions and patches of blue sky behind it. This is the first time we’ve seen the sun for, at least 2 weeks, maybe longer.
Someone mentioned building a snowman.. it took 1 minute to get volunteers.
Shane, Juliet and Jake built something and called it a snow Penguin…
Anyway, it was welcome relief from below decks when the crew came up for the photo. It’s a pity I didn’t get a good shot of the snow fight that happened next. As you can imagine there were no holds bared – resulting in one decapitated snow Penguin.

It started snowing just on daybreak.

All crew from the port watch, left to fight; Aaron, Grant, Jesse, Adam, Jake, Shane, Sandy, Dave (at the back), Chevy, Juliet and Penguin with Noel's hat on.
