Ha! I killed two birds with one stone… huh, with one blog. I found the Galápagos Islands AND the Equator. It was dark closing in to the Equator but at the very moment I reached it, lightning flashed up in the sky and Poseidon rose from the water to admire little Guppy. This was… just the dream I had the night before crossing.In reality it went like this: during the day I met with another boat and at 9 PM [my time] we crossed the Equator, all swinging to loud music. Since I had heard from reliable sources that Neptune has a weakness for pancakes I gave him one specially made for him. Crossing the Equator just felt like New Year’s Eve! After a few short naps, this morning I reached the Island of Santa Cruz, Galápagos. I am lying at anchor now and I can see many well knowned yachts again, also I am eager to go ashore.
