We passed over the equator midmorning no signs were posted so we continued on into the southern latitudes with 85 miles to go. Fuel is getting low and the current has really been holding us back I noticed a 2.2 current against us this is a definite fight. We have 65 long miles to go as I heard the wind let up suddenly and for a moment and we were actually going backwards. The wind is coming from our destination so we cannot sail direct.We must use our fuel wisely as we cannot pull over and fill up. I believe we will motor when the wind is down and sail south when the wind is up and try to pick up on the current which would then be in our favor.The men are having much discussion so stay tuned for further up dates. All is well sailing with Jesus............Love gg

Hello out there! We have traveled 682.48 miles.I must thank the Lord for wise and strong men. The wind and seas picked up last night and Gabriella rode the seas like a buck and bronco. The waves were slamming underneath banging loudly. The boom was creaking while the drains sloshed as we rocked and rolled through the dark night not a star to be seen . The sound of our wake in the night rushing behind was one of peace. There is something special about being out in the ocean at night one in which you must abandon your fears and continue fowards leaving your past behind by trusting God completely and knowing your future is with him and him alone, God is able to form you in his hands to who you are becoming each day one day at a time one wave at a time sailing with Jesus. Love gg
