Cheers to King Neptune
30 March 2007 | Equator

This evening we crossed the equator back in to the northern hemisphere, for the first time in two years. It was quite a nice night, with a beautiful sunset ahead, a full moon just behind, speed overground of ten knots and Chris grilling some of the tasty wahoo that he caught yesterday. We hope that this is a sign of good things to come! As we have already crossed the equator once, we didn't feel the need to dress up silly or throw one of ourselves into the ocean, but we did give a bottle of Skol (Brazilian beer) to King Neptune to thank him for his kindness thus far and ask him for continued safety for the rest of our voyage home.
