Yesterday we had a great day of motoring through calm seas here in the
doldrums. Everyone slept well the night before, and it didn't get too
hot aboard.
We've gotten really good at reading the squalls that surround us with
the radar, and have managed to dodge all of them in our path in the
last 24 hours.
We're past the 1/2 way mark now and really settling into a routine.
Since it was calm yesterday we set up an inflatable pool for the kids
in the cockpit and they splish-splashed for a couple of hours. The
manlier thing to do would be to go for a dip in the 84º water, but
we've been regularly spotting sharks following us, so maybe not this
time around...
At dinnertime a grey gull landed on deck to take a break for a few
hours and we fed her steak from the dinner table.
We should be crossing the equator early tomorrow morning with all of
the pomp and festivities appropriate for the occasion.
All is well aboard.
