Jessicawatch – she crosses the equator
Tonight I’ve got company out here, let me introduce you to ‘Silly’. He’s a little brown sea bird that’s landed on the sailor 250 satellite dome on the stern of Ella’s Pink Lady. Silly earned his nickname because of his dangerous fascination with the wind generator and his amusing attempts to land on the bendy windvane blade.
Even though the wind genny isn’t spinning too fast at the moment, watching him fly so close to it again and again was a little nerve racking! Anyway he’s been sitting there for well over three hours now and seems to have made himself quite comfortable perched on the dome.
And she finally crosses the equator heading north but will now turn south-east for Cape Horn and when she hits those big southern swells, she’ll know she’s going to be up against it.
She writes of many seabirds and quite a few dolphins frolicking about. What is it about dolphins which brings out the positive feelings in people? Below, she celebrates crossing the line with chocolate.
