We are sailing north from Fortaleza and nearing the equator.  Our position is 01 36 S and 040 14 W. We have a great positive current of at least 1 and 1/2 knots sometimes 2 so we are just buzzing along.  We had loads of rain yesterday but good wind mostly.  Hopefully  the wind will continue all the way across the equator.  We are in good spirits.
