Crossing the Equator

 


The seas and weather continue to be in our favor. We have had a head wind most of the day, which makes it pleasant to be outside. 


At 9:21 local time (GMT-2) we crossed the equator. We had some company. Look closely at the top of the antenna mast!


Generally lazy day, reading and napping. We reach Recife, our first stop in Brazil, day after tomorrow.

      The Artistic Crew put on a show, with King Neptune personally present to dunk those to be initiated in the pool. And naturally, the Aquavit flowed.

    I reckon y'all have now graduated from Pollywogs to Shellbacks! Cheers - B
