Digiboat's "Product Testing"

Crossed the Equator today, not much in the way of celebrations as most aboard already Shellbacks so King Neptune not really needed to see who's entering his Realm! Will certainly be replacing this evening's G&T's with the more traditional Rum and Cokes from a teapot though!

Motoring all day as glassy seas this morning and 15kn head winds this afternoon.

So a few movies later... all's quiet as the hectic pace has sent everyone to their bunks!!

Will be docking briefly at Padang tomorrow morning for a refuel and a quick shore-leave for the passengers.
