Its now 10.30pm on Thurs 8th Mar and at 10pm local time (0100 Zulu), we crossed the equator! Wayhey!!! 00°00´, 43°58´W Made a paper boat and sent it overboard to Neptune with a Bloody Mary to put a little smile on his face and help make a wish come true. We both opted out of shaving our heads, a sailors tradition on the 1st equator crossing since this is our 2nd! Phew! So now we´re back in the northern hemisphere after 22 fabulous months of adventure in the southern antipodes.
1200nm to go to Tabago. The Amazon estuary is about 200 miles off to our left. Still no sign of the Doldrums and now we have North East Trade winds at 15k. With this great speed of 7-9k (still current with us) we should hopefully make it to Tabago in time for St Patrick´s Day celebrations on 17th!
Night night sleep tight.
