Throughout the day Sun Princess continued on a south-south-easterly course and at 12 noon we were 236 miles east of the island of Kiritimati in the Clipperton Fracture Zone and 149 miles north of the Equator. We crossed the Equator at 8.30pm, so we are now back in the Southern Hemisphere..ahh just feels like home :)

Sea day again today as we steam towards Tahiti. The weather is absolutely gorgeous, and the pool deck beckoned. No activities for us today, a day of lounging by the pool, alternating between swimming, reading, drinking and napping, with an odd ice cream and a lunch slipped in there.

The Crossing the Equator Ceremony was held today given our location. It seemed not that long ago that when we last did the ceremony, on 26th of May as we headed up away from Australia at the beginning of this epic voyage.

We spent the whole day on Riviera deck until 3.30pm, when some numb-nut scheduled an animation movie 'Beauty and the Beast' on the big screen. I gather the responsible person has not noticed the demographics of the passengers on this cruise – guess how many kids were watching the movie– yep you guessed it right – zip. Perhaps that is because there is only a handful of kids on board. Guess how many passengers, who had been enjoying a peaceful afternoon in the sun until they were blasted out by the volume of the kids movie- left the Riviera deck and headed indoors – yep, shit-loads. Great decision which will do not do much for the revenue of the bar..sheesh. I feel better now :)

After dinner show tonight was a hypnotist, very funny show. It was great seeing so many people we know in such comical situations. A nice way to end the day :)
