Position of the ship

This AM while watching the clouds dance around the sunrise, a kite (bird) was soaring along with the ship for quite a while.  Took this picture of it with the crescent moon in the background.  Lots of pictures have been taken, only a few make the blog.  That’s the thing about digital pictures – they are so easy.

At noon the Captain reported that we were 0 degrees 58 minutes north – technically in the North Atlantic.  The wind had changed blowing out of the SE at 15 gusting to 25 knots. And we had passed the mid-Atlantic ridge some time ago, and we are back in deep water (2.5 miles).  We are estimated to pass the Equator around 4:30 this afternoon.

We crossed the Equator at 16:33 on 11/21/2022

Here is the announcement and a view looking due east from the ship
