Equator!

Some time after 1:00 am, we crossed from the southern hemisphere to the northern just this side of 148°W Longitude.

It's a much steadier night, more favorable wind, no rain!! Dealing with the swell takes some helm & sail management.

The humidity has changed the look of the starry sky, but it's still amazing! The waning moon continues to rise and later, leaving more dark for star gazing.

The phosphorescence in the water is a source of delight. I got to witness something super cool. I was admiring the sparkles in our wake and along the hulls, when I noticed a glowing form coming toward the boat; it came along side and then back out to sea a few times! At one point there were two of these glowing trails.. My guess is porpoises, but could have been anything.
Love & Light,
