Slow progress today.The wind has dropped to20knt
N/NE but there is as expected 1-1.5knt of northerley current which reduces boat
speed to 4knt and is producing a 2metre swell from behind.The Equator is 70nm
south and the curent should begin to turn west sometime after it is
reached.Expect to cross over by breakfast time tomorrow.The sink water is
already going counter clockwise.Filled the water tanks this morning and the
bread making was particularly successful. Still no ships seen nor on
radar.I did pass a burger box floating norh a while ago.Cann´t imagine where it
comes from.Amazing design.
