I’ve just passed the Equator!
Position: 00 00 51 N, 037 56 W  2150 ZULU time, 23 April, 2009
I made a toast to Neptune with a glass of juice, thank him for everything so far and asked him for his continued support. I talked to another ship on a radio. It sailed nearby. According
to maps, we should be going along a 2-knot current, but it seems to be otherwise :(
later: it is hot! I think I’m losing the current. Hopefully, my hand will heal when I stop wetting and irritating it with ropes.
Flying ants still present. Although I am head to wind, I can still sail slowly. Positive thoughts are with me all the time.
