[status] For our first night north of the equator, the winds went from zippy to zip, and we had to start the engine last night around 2:30 am. Still motoring this morning, and dodging squalls. Last evening, we had to change out the chart plotter at the nav station; the old one finally froze up and died. We had been having trouble with it since we were in New Zealand, so I bought a spare off e-Bay, and had it shipped to Riverside before we left. We also have a chart plotter at the helm, which is fine, but the one at the nav station feeds AIS data to the network, so we had to get that sorted before we start running into shipping "traffic" as we get further north; we have not seen another vessel since the Tuamotous, but that will change soon. TTFN! "All is well on board!" Thanks for following us on YIT!
