What a wild ride. More to come, this is just a quick note for now to say we came out the other side after an April 13 (Friday) that had more rain (as in Monsoon) and lightning than I have ever seen, or want to see from a boat again! Most of the ride was at night with no moon making the ride that much more dramatic. Wow!
We’re currently at 03 degrees, 05 minutes North, 125 degrees, 01 minutes West. Nice weather. I slept all day having not sleep more than a couple hours in the last 48 and Ann’s sleeping right now. Nice to have that behind us. Now, on the equator! We’re working on our costumes to celebrate the crossing and changing from pollywogs to shellbacks and have champagne chilling in the fridge. Expect to cross sometime Monday I think.
More later…
You mean made it to the ITCZ, aka Doldrums. Hope you have enough wind now to keep moving.
So happy to hear from you. Glad to know everything is working out Ok. We hope that there are a few days for you to relax and recuperate after the last week’s rough conditions. Our prayers for smooth sailing ahead.
