On my midnight watch turnover, Torsten pointed out that we had reached singe digits of latitude in our GPS position, as we get steadily closer to the equator.
I'm noticing the wind speed seems to be getting smaller, too. We'll see if that trend holds.
We are also noticing more current. Our magnetic heading varies from our course over ground. We are getting set a little bit west. This was anticipated and why we've been sailing northeast, instead of due north. Hopefully it works to give us a good approach to Hawaii.
The instruments tell us that the ocean temperature is 82 degrees. Nuts, right?
( Here comes that shrinking moon, almost 2am tonight.)
