In August, 2006, S/V Toketie set out from Victoria, British Columbia and sailed South to Mexico, on to French Polynesia, Niue and Tonga following the well beaten path known as the 'coconut run' to New Zealand. In 2009 we sailed N to Fiji then on to New Caledonia en route to Australia! Toketie is now back home in British Columbia after a long passage via the N Pacific Ocean.

Equator!
Left the S Pacific behind about 2AM crossing the equator under clear skies with a billion stars, the S Cross setting below the stern. Toasted Neptune with a St. James sparkling Chardonnay, requesting fair winds and safe passage! Light Nlies continue to dog us making it hard to gain Easting.
Milestone acheived. Good to hear.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Sounds like escaping the the clutches of the southern hemisphere was a bit of an "uphill" slog. Treebeard was right.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, it's all downhill from wherever you are today.
