[status] We crossed the equator this morning, Sunday, 22 November at 06:36am, exactly three days out of Anaho Bay. At noon today, we were 540 miles from Anaho Bay, Nuku Hiva. This leaves 1320 miles to the South Cape of Hawaii. The sunrise at 05:40 was fantastic. Equator crossing breakfast was Fatu Hiva banana pancakes topped with butter and Marquesan honey...delicious! Sailing across the equator, and in fact the entire 120 miles of a zero degree heading,00-59.9 South to 00-59.9 North is always special and exotic. We are now at one degree north and skimming along on this lovely day. The boat is performing well, and we are both having a great time!

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
