Under 10 miles to go !

My ETA to the southern hemisphere is about 3 hours 12minutes (22:30 Zulu +/-) it will put me there just before sunset for my ceremony.

I really appreciate all the instant messages and it’s an honor knowing some of you will be toasting my introduction to Shell Back status tonight this very fine St. Patrick’s day!

I just zoomed out on my GPS and it finally looks like I’ve put a dent in my trip to the Marquesas. After the Galapagos I will have one fourth of the trip behind me.

Have I really been at sea for 10 days? I feel great, I feel like I could sail for ever!

Have fun tonight everyone, It’s a good excuse to be with friends. Drink lots of green beer & Guinness!

Peace, love, and the Equator!
