Day 22 – 360 degree sunrise and sunset

22 Mar, 07 – 21.32    
18.5299N,28.2027W


24 hr progress: 24.9 Nautical Miles
Distance to Antigua (Straight line): 1908 Nautical Miles
Shoulder is recovering. Still resting it and no rowing last night.
Had an early start this morning at 5am to start rowing just before sunrise. Watching the Sun rise and set uninterrupted all around for 360 degrees is an incredible experience. Not something we get to see in the city.
The wildlife has increased around the boat which makes a good change from the water desert of the past few weeks. Wind has dropped to 10 knots and seas are fairly calm.
Today's also been a double bonus, crossing 1 parallel (18N) and 1 meridian (28W) on the same day.
The hatch needs a bit of house keeping. Wish they had room service in this parts. Wires, protein bars, chargers, maps, books, batteries, sleeping bag all mixed up together.
Holding course and in good spirits.
