At 3:50 p.m. Friday, we crossed the equator at 145-20W steering 141M at 7 knots. As we crossed, a bright rainbow appeared from a small squall, ahead. We are pollywogs, no longer, but shellbacks in the seafaring tradition. Our trusty Nordhavn has taken us to the southern hemisphere. Seas have been kindly, with 5 to 10 kts on the port bows and 3- foot seas. If conditions remain favorable, we should drop anchor in Baie d' Taiohae, Nuku Hiva midday on Tuesday.
