Malua was at 37:54.306N 0:00.0W on 29/08/2012 at sea off Spain

The moon is full, the wind at 23 knots is aft of the beam and we are running down the coast of Spain to wards Gibraltar touching our hull speed of 8.4 knots.  What a great sail.

I was watching the GPS as is ticked down 0:00 East to 0:00 West so we crossed the Greenwich meridian and Malua is again in the Western Hemisphere.  Not since 2006 has Malua been in the western hemisphere but then we crossed the international date line at 180 – exactly the other side of the world.  We were sailing along the coast of Fiji when we moved from E to W on the GPS now we are back.

The next great crossing will be back into the Southern hemisphere.
