Under the Sun!
24 April 2013 | 11°01.65'N 150°23.94'W
Coral Bliss Taylor/..windy?
Well we are enjoying our days at sea.
Today we passed under the sun.
That is: had the mast not been healed over due to the sails it would not have cast a shadow. the sun was at our zenith.
This happened because our latitude matched the suns declination just at the same time of our LAN (local apparent noon). This was pretty neat.
Isabel will be posting our blog update with Coral's help soon.
Big moon shining over a big ocean and a small boat.
