Half way Point

Today we will reach our half way point - 1350 miles. Luckily things are pretty boring out here. We prayed for a non event and so far it is working out that way. Got up to 22 knots of wind yesterday and we have been running in and out of little rain squalls, this is actually nice as it has rinsed all of the salt off of the boat so we feel pretty clean again. The humidity is crazy out here, like being in a constant steam shower, everything is wet. Our location is 6.22.730 N and 121.32.105 W , in a few more days we will be at the equator - another exciting moment in time. Yesterday, the sun was shinning so nicely in the morning, that we all went out and sat on the front of the boat - soaking it up. The boat is on auto pilot and drives itself, we just have to make sure that nothing gets in it's way and we had pretty good visibility from our front row seats. Another diversion to fill time is to put electonic marks on the squalls as they show up on the radar - this tells us the direction they are traveling and the speed - some of them travel at 50 plus knots/hr - thought you would like to know. Lots of books are being read and movies watched - life is very relaxed. I'll report next on equator day. TTFN
