Çay is, we crossed the 0 ° degree latitude map Boating & D # 39; other words we have passed the equator and entered the southern hemisphere.
And we're not just proud because these days were not easy. We spent our last 3 nights to slalom between the flashes and seek to avoid lightning. Each evening after sunset, we could attend the training of the famous tropical storms. The sky began to fill with clouds threatening to materialize, in large black spots on the radar. As the night progressed, the work grew, other clouds from forming and joining existing ones. On the radar, we could not see a huge black stain. After searching at the beginning to avoid them (which has even led us in a moment of desperation to get underway in the opposite direction), we realized that we had to face because of all the ways they were not trying to avoid us. Instead they gave us the impression that we pursue. Rainstorms, thunder and lightning accompanied us throughout the night and even until late morning when finally the sun, thunderstorms began & # 224; dissipate. The afternoon was while very pleasant, despite the heat and high humidity, we enjoy these moments of relative calm to rest. The girls were having fun out in the rain to take what they called "showers of rain" for though the rains are warm and refreshing can better withstand moisture accumulated inside the boat.
But since yesterday, approaching the 0 ° latitude, the regime has changed. The sea is completely flat and there is a breath of wind, we go for more than 24 hours on the engine. Roberto has recovered the last weather report which confirms that we are well out of the Convergence Zone Inter-tropical, it only remains that & # 39; wait to cross the south east trade winds which should not be very far now. To be continued ..
