At 5 am, Darren said, "We just crossed equator. Homeward bound we are."
Cruiser tradition says the crew of Cool Cat are no longer pollywogs and may now refer to themselves as shellbacks. Congratulations!
Later in the day, Darren sent this information to his mom and dad in Australia: "The equator crossing was about 5 am this morning. We celebrated by giving king Neptune a beer and then pouring the rest over myself. Took video, so will try put on the blog when we can, it was a good feeling. . . Getting tired again, bad night sleep, will try rest before my shift, 9-12. Going about 2 knots now, dammit. But I guess the weather is good to us, just no wind to get us moving."
