Chsalonina - Chizol - Crossing the Equator

Crossing the Equator

Chsalonina - Chizol

Chizol has now been sold to sail around again

Tue 9 Mar 2010 10:03

Chsalonina

At 05:00 this morning local time the SV Chsalonina now known by the fleet as Chizol crossed the Equator at 00:00s 088:09W and entered the South Hemisphere for the first time

We drank Marguet Champagne which is superb - still drinking - thank you Benoit

We now have another 10 -11 hours before arriving in the Archipielago de Colon (Galapagos Islands)

From then we will move into yet another time zone of Zulu -6

The Skipper - Sheikh
