crossed the equator!

00:00.01S 148:15.28W At 2AM local time for us, we crossed the equator amidst
general celebration and self congratulation (I figure if you head south, you
will eventually get there). We all made our gifts to Neptune (Poseidon for
those reading Greek) but looked in vain for a white line in the sea, saying “you
are here”. As part of the celebratory mood, we watched “Blood
Diamond” which was very good. Took some more sun and star sites yesterday and last night
and hope to work them out later today. We are still moving along nicely so we
are not using diesel. Last night’s dinner was tuna and pasta created by
Sam. We still have close to 1000 miles to go, but can feel When we ran the engine a few days ago, it was making some
strange noises in the transmission; hope it is nothing serious. babelfish |
