Aloha everyone, it has been a beautiful day here in the equatorial Pacific. Perfect sailing with moderate breeze from the beam and calm seas. While enjoying conversation on deck this morning, we decided it was a Jimmy Buffet sort of day so played his music all day! We usually have not been playing it. A few disappointments, first day we put a line (got the pole out) and didn't catch a fish! Also, I decided to bake some bread, bt couldn't get oven to light (it's new and worked fine at home.) If we can't fix that, there goes our brownies! Tomorrow is our big day when we cross the equator. I expect a visitor as we do a have a couple of slimy polywogs aboard who need to be properly initiated into shellbackdom. Crew all doing well and know that we will be there in a week. Aloha, David

David, You can still make brownies without the oven. Put the brownie pan on the stove and cover it with foil. Turn the burner on low and turn it off when you smell the brownies cooking. Wait a few minutes and repeat, testing the brownies periodically for doneness. Perfected that trick when Moku pe'a's oven crapped out on a previous voyage!
