We finally crossed the equator. Our expedition moved from the northern hemisphere to the southern. After eight and a half months in the northern hemisphere, we are now in the south, with Africa, Antarctica, and South America ahead.
It has gotten colder here in the last three days. The days are cloudy, and there is a cold wind. We had to switch to our winter clothes. The ocean has become rougher. To protect the deck where the engines are, the captain has slowed down. If the wind and rough seas don’t calm down, Argus will arrive in Walvis Bay a day later.
If any of our readers think we might be tired of the local food, they are very mistaken. We still look forward to 6 p.m. every day when we can go down to the dining room, check out all the dishes on offer, and then slowly start eating. Today’s menu was no exception, especially since we found our cook, Alex, marinating and stuffing two legs of lamb on our way to breakfast. He promised to bake them for dinner.
In the last three days, we have traveled 1,161 kilometers. There are 980 kilometers left to Walvis Bay. Our coordinates at 9 p.m. on September 29 are 16.53 S 07.20 E.
