We are Golden Dragons now
Crossing the 180 meridian.... |
We passed a couple of big milestones on our transit north
today. We are now closer to Adak, Alaska
than Midway, Hawaii. We have thus passed the most remote point in our journey,
when we were ~1300 km from land in any direction.
The
other big milestone is that we have sailed across the date line, and thus have
entered the domain of the Golden Dragon and become rulers of the 180º meridian. Maria Tsekhmistrenko (Oxford) designed awesome Golden Dragon certificates for everyone that will be signed and stamped by the Captain. And when we get back to port in Kodiak, Alaska in
5 weeks, we can all rush down to the tattoo parlor and get tattoos of golden
dragons. So that’s something to look forward to.
