Synopsis: We had nice wind until the early hours in the
morning, even if it was close to beam reaching. But this morning it veered a
bit southeast allowing us to sail off of the wind - yea!! But then it dropped
to about 3kts. So, we are motorsailing this afternoon and probably will be all
night. But hay! It was really nice to dry out and get some of the salt out of
my shirts and shorts. It's beginning to
look like we are getting into the ITCZ, or Zone as I call it.
Tonight we have our celebration dinner for crossing the equator. Steak! And another really good bottle of wine (if it has not gone bad from 2 seasons in Mexico and all the heat of French Polynesia).
