Day 15

We crossed the equator at 0200 last night and paid tribute to King Neptune today.

We are both shellbacks and there are no pollywogs aboard, so the ritual was limited to appeasement with a splash of rum over the rail. Kurt has crossed eight times and Katie five.

 We also decided not to wait until landfall to change to Cook Island Time. With the wind dying we could use three more hours to pad our stats:
