Equator

On the 8. day after departure from Balboa, Panama we crossed the magic line in a calm. Well, it had been calm for a while then and winds were weak for several days. So we more drifted over than sailed over.
Peparations had been made the day befor: Champagne had been cooled and certificates drawn.
At 03:21 hours the GPS changed from north to south lattitudes. We offered some Champagne in hope of favourable winds, drank the rest, took down the sails and went to bed.

Hallo Jochen,
eine gute Fahrt euch zweien.
Ein wirklich interessanter Blog, den Ihr da betreibet. ich lasse mir von Jan berichten und schaue immer mal wieder gerne hinein. Respekt.

Wir waren heute das erste mal wieder im 2er-Renn-Skiff unterwegs, und es ist auch nix passiert, aber es waren da nurt Enten und Gänse, keine Pelikane, udn man hatz uns vor dem kalten Wasser gewarnt....
