We crossed the Latitude=Longitude line:
i.e. the degree North are equal of the degree West.
Something for the aficionados of numbers ..

Nothing else to report. We are gibing to keep a comfortable 160 TWA and follow the Eddy currents giving us good speed.
However looks like tomorrow we will have to slow down a bit to schedule a landfall in Flores for Wednesday morning,
because at the current speed we might arrive during the night between Tuesday and Wednesday.
