" We give thee King Neptune, something more valuable than spirits or coinage, we give you the life giving water,we mere mortals require to sail upon your sea. Thank you for a safe passage to the equator and we pray for safe passage to our destination "

And we sailed into the northern hemisphere at 720 this morning! Hooorah!!!! Back where lows and highs spin the proper direction and heading to where people can understand your language and where the dollar will buy something!! Overcast skies a little lumpy winds northeast at 15 and we are making 5 knots. East flowing current pushing us to the east, a good thing, and all is good. The most insulting thing happened last night, I had to wear sweats for my watch!!! What's up with that? I thought it was always hot at the equator, but sweats! yuck!! Now the sun has popped out while typing this and maybe I'll get my heat after all.hat;s it for now, too rolly.
