We are now back in the Northern Hemisphere. It feels like we are making some progress "home". No alcohol for Neptune, just for ourselves to celebrate. On No Regrets the sea doused them through an open hatch over the bed. A long way inshore, the mouth of the Amazon is at the equator.
We spent a day in the doldrums,which I guess is not bad for an equator crossing. We only made 112 mm, whereas the days before were all over 150nm. Within a half hour time frame, the wind changed direction from SE to NE. We now have a beam or close reach sail. The wind speeds swing from 10 to 20 knots. A more boisterous ride than downwind, but at least fast. We are now on day 5.
Not much excitement otherwise. Just the occasional ship, dolphin, or bird.
