Officially on the other side of the world

We’re now officially on the other side of the world, having passed the equator a couple of days ago. The event was indicated by a long line of zeros on our position indicator. Otherwise there’s nothing much new or interesting to tell. The horizon is still bounded by water and sky all around; no colours except varying shades of blues and greys, no life to be seen except the occasional sea bird or the flying fish and small squid which are still regularly landing on deck. Sometimes there’s a beautiful sunset reflecting off cloud castles in the distance. We’re well and have only about 500 more miles to go before landfall. With any luck, the next time I write it’ll be from Nuku Hiva!

Love to all,

Eva
