17:30 Thursday 1st March. During a long time cruising at sea in quite uninhabited areas, a ship and all the people on it can be vulnerable and so much depends on the quality of the catain and his crew. Thanks to them, all has been resolved well following the recent critical incident and we have been informed that the girl who was taken off by helicopter is recovering well in hospital in Guam.
A look at the atlas shows how few big land masses we have passed during our last five days at sea, although we have been relatively near to some small islands, including Okinawa, Northern Mariana Island and the Federated States of Micronesia.
At around 13:00 today we crossed the Equator. No toot from the horn to celebrate but an excuse for the entertainment team to do a few daft things in celebration. This is our first crossing of the equator and was marked with more of a whimper than a bang
Rabaul in Papua New Guinea tomorrow and the prospect of seeing active volcanoes! No trip planned, just a walk into the main town through the volcanic ash.
