Huzzah Cruising the Northwest

The mighty Huzzah and her dedicated crew crossed the equator today at 04:30 UTC (5:30 pm PDT). After offering our praise to King Neptune, we drank a little Kraken rum with him, took a few pictures and quickly moved on. So, on to the Marquesas Islands, a mere 670 miles South West at a course of 202 degrees true.

Thanks to our wives for making this all possible! Without their support, we'd be sitting in a pub somewhere just talking about doing something special! Life is good aboard Huzzah!
