Last night was magical. We had a lazy supper at about
18.30 and I went to bed at 20.00 after sunset and moonrise. At 02.00 when I got
up, the moon was quite high in the sky, it was light and warm. The moon's silver
path across the ocean to the boat was glimmering in the gentle swell. I sat on a
bean-bag (our big spinnaker) for two hours and just watched the sea go by.
Lovely.
We then had nautical twilight, civil twilight and then
sunrise. Another day, and the boat's routine started again.
We had a role reversal this morning. I fabricated a
repair on a jamming block and Ian prepared for meridian passage.
We are twenty two miles from the equator and should
cross it by supper time.
