Crossed the Equator!

We are now officially "Shellbacks" as we crossed the Equator yesterday at 15:46 UTC.
A celebration, toast and a ceremony with offerings to King Neptune to insure our safe passage was performed.
Free Spirit is now in the trade winds traveling at a nice clip 7 knots plus on a rhumb line(beeline) 875 nautical miles from Hiva Oa.
Everything is still working well and the crew is still able to laugh at things.
