still at sea

Finished Defoe's Robinson Crusoe - thought that would be an appropriate read - a good story for adults - insights into life choices and consequences. Now have Conrad's Victory to read. Tomorrow we cross the equator, with appropriate ceremony. In the 80s today and partly cloudy (sorry folks back North). We do have 8 ft waves, however, so we rock and roll a bit. We're going by the Line Islands (Kingman, Palmyra, Christmas, etc) and the Marshalls (though they're a bit further west. We almost 9000 nautical miles from NY.
