Hi from the Equatorial waters of the Pacific 20/02/09

Todays position as of 1700 UTC is 0 degrees, 55 minutes N, 86 degrees 49 minutes W.
Distance from Bahia San Telmo 674 nautical miles.
Distance to Galapagos 245 nautical miles.
Nautical miles is last 24 hours 149.
Sailing again after motoring for 30 hours. Wind 9 knots,sailing 5-6 knots.
Surprisingly its breezy but not too hot. Chilling the Champagne ready for the "Crossing the Equator ceremony", which should happen in 120 miles. Probably in the middle of the night.So picture us cavorting around in our undies, offering King Neptune a dram for good luck, toasting our good fortune so far, and asking for safe passages in the future.
