Sitting in the cockpit at sunset.
Sunset in the doldrumsI had planned on crossing the equator yesterday. But the weather had other plans. Right now I have hardly any wind and the little bit that there is is coming from the south, so it has been pretty slow going.
I am 6 miles away from the equator, so I should be crossing it pretty soon! I've been pretty busy out here lately. I ran my watermaker for the first time yesterday. The water that was coming out, though not salty, tasted and smelled horrible. Due to the heat here, the little life forms that live in salt water had died and begun to really smell! I had to clean out the pre-filter, run it for a little while, and then it was working nicely again!
I also needed to change my fuel filters as they had gotten pretty dirty. So after a lot of crawling around under the cockpit in the very back of the boat she is running strong which is good, because when there isn't enough wind or sun for my wind generators and solar panels that is how I charge the batteries.
Boiling hot and covered in diesel, but things are ship shape around here and I'm headed in the right direction , so all is good out here!
I'll let you all know once I've crossed the equator!!

Hi Babsy
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update and photos.
Captain, chemist and mechanic, writer and photograher... WOW!
Good luck tomorrow on the first goal- the Equator.
Looks like the wind will pick up when you reach 5degs South.
Best wishes

I can't imagine the lonliness of being out in the middle of the ocean !! Do you ever get scared or paniced when there are strange sounds or smells ? I think my imagination would run off somewhere.. You are an inspiration, keep up the good sailing job.!
ReplyDeleteUncle Al
Great job Abby, how about posting your lat and lon so we can keep track of your position.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great adventure!! All I wanted to do at 16 was to meet boys and get my driver's license.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pictures. I hope the wind pick up for you.
ReplyDeleteYour doing Great Abby! I hope ur having a good time, and hope that you cross the equator soon!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Abby!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see my son covered in diesel in the bottom of a boat! lol
He would probably love the adventure of it all!
Still praying that your challenges will become achievements completed!

Thanks for the update. I look forward to them. What a great adventure. Bobbing on top of 2 miles of Pacific Ocean. Wow. I admire you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update and photos!!
ReplyDeleteI have had an eye on your map.
Wow! Cant wait to hear that you crossed. NOw only if you can blow your own wind right?:) Keep on going, your doing well. Were rooting for you here in Kansas!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome Abby!
ReplyDeleteI was looking out for a message, hoping things were OK . . . It's good to see things are going well.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos.
What an adventure for you and all of us that are following you. Absolutly fantastic.
ReplyDeleteMe and my friends are watching you Abby from Georgia. Stay focused on your journey to success.
ReplyDeleteGood job. It's fun to hear how your doing. Thanks for the pictures. Helps us visualize what your seeing!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever feel like explaining your systems (like your water system, etc)we'd love to hear how your boat works. I've never been on a boat like yours.
Rooting for you from Des Moines, Iowa, USA!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the progress you've made so far. You are in my prayers daily and I look forward to reading about the rest of your journey! Stay safe!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful sunset! Congrats on a great picture, making it to the equator, and getting things ship-shape!
ReplyDeleteGod's richest blessings to you as you head into the heart of summer!

Hi Abby,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update, great photos.
When I was a combat enginer in the army, I was told a diesel engine needed three things to run:
1-clean fuel, 2-clean fuel, and 3-clean fuel.
Good move changing the filters, as it should give your engine the three things it needs to run.
Good to hear the water maker is functioning. That will make your voyage much more pleasant.
I hope you soon get a push over the line.
Sleep and clip on.

Hi Abby,
ReplyDeleteYou'll be across the equator by the time you see this comment, So Congratulations on this accomplishment! God is watching after you as you know.
That water sounded real gross, I'm glad you got that up and working again so you can have clean water to drink. It looks like it's real hot out there. I guess you'll be going from one extreme to the other just like Jessica has experienced continually. You are both getting ready to cross major milestones, (literally) you’ll be crossing the equator and she'll be crossing under the Cape of Good Hope. Good for both of you girls. Girl Power all the way.
Take Care and God Bless,
Debbie in Tampa, FL
We had about the same thing when we crossed the equator. At about 7 degrees south it got sunny and we had five days of perfect sailing. Three of the five we made over 200 miles and were some of the best of our entire trip. Didn't see any more shrimp south of the equator either. The boobies will be with you always no matter how far out you go. Good luck and remember to enjoy the adventure. You will remember it always.
ReplyDeleteCongrats,have you seen any other boats in the water lately
ReplyDeleteFantastic! So happy to see you heading southward!
ReplyDeleteYou're in my thoughts as you continue on the adventure.
If you're ever looking for something to write about, I'd love an entry on power consumption vs. generation capacity and, a few months in maybe, something about how you're managing balancing what equipment you run and how you cycle their power needs. For a day and long weekend sailor like me looking to do an extended cruise next year (six months or more) I'm awfully eager to get more info on how you'll be managing your power consumption.
It may not be the most romantic part of the voyage... but it's one spot where it could become decidedly unromantic (like the whole covered-in-diesel bit! I'm sure you smelled and looked positively divine after that!) if not managed well.
Take care, have fun, and be safe!
Bonjour Abby & Wild Eyes,
ReplyDeleteWaiting for the picture of your salt water baptism! :-)
Keep smiling, stay cool, be safe.
Such a tremendous challenge. Good for you. I guess you know everyone is going to expect a book from this..lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pictures, sometimes in life God wants to teach us patience, this might be a teaching time. My prayers are with you and we hope for some wind before long. Blessings!!!
ReplyDeleteHi abby
ReplyDeleteSounds and looks like you are doing very well, A little maintnance never hurts anything expect the maintnance-ee, better to do it now when you want to and not when you need to.I'm not a sailor but enjoying what you are doing. I am a 75 year old great grand paw and learing some things I didn't know about sailing. I'm impressed that you are a mechinical minded young lady ,be careful and have fun sailing ,Your the best.

No big announcement huh? That's OK, patience is a virture they say. If you can wait it out, we will to. 6 miles to go, you're probably across it by now anyway so congratulations Abby. First leg complete!
ReplyDeleteHello my civilian Hero!!. Thanks for the add on Facebook!!!. I have spread the word of Abby to everyone and you have more followers on line!. Those are some nice photos. I love the ocean. Can we have a photo of the boat sailing out there to??!

Great blog.Funnily enough you actually look quite happy. All other pics show some tension nerves, this the first if i may say, of genuine relaxed happiness :-) i could also swear there's a pic of zac exactly like that somewhere on his site, same angle, same distance from the camera same everything, i'll have to dig for it.
ReplyDeleteI would suggest that you not post your lat and lon. The wrong kind of people might decide to pay you a visit.
ReplyDeleteWe are with you in our prayers, be safe and I am so proud of you......Sherry
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics. Take care.....Congrats too!

You go girlie! We are keeping you in our prayers here in Memphis, TN. We helped pray Zac around too, so let all of us know on your blog what you need. Having my own 16 YO daughter, I have to worry about you. Give your Mom and Dad our love.

Thank you for the post and the pics, Abby. You look hot! I mean, you look like boiling hot, really! Equator is rarely a cold area, isn't it? Store this heath inside you (in your feet would be wise, it seems they are the worst cold sufferers in the deep South) for later.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the treats for God Neptune! You must be on the line now, 6 milles are not that many, even with little wind.
I hope you will enjoy the southern hemisphere. Is it really the first time you are crossing the line?
Fair sailing, Miss Abby, and enjoy your journey...
Hello there girl, I heard about your about your trip and was very imprest. Have a great trip and hope to see more blogs. It's interesting to see, how trip is going. What is this horn thing that you will be crossing soon. Is it dangers or what? lol don't know much about traveling on the big blue sea. Can you explain Thanks.
ReplyDeleteEach day I make it a point to open your website and click on the "Where's Abby" link to check the map to note your progress. Looking at the map it becomes, "She's to Ecuador... Peru soon!" Then it's off to your blog to hopefully see a new entry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful adventure you are on! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! Always hoping for your safety and smooth sailing!
Great job so far Abby . You are quite the photographer also as the pictures of you and the sunset are terrific. You look pretty happy in your pic which is a good thing. Hopefully we will get a video sometime also.... maybe of the celebration for the equator crossing? Do you cook or is everything pre-packaged so all you have to do is heat it up? Well, take care girl and we will continue to pray for your safety.
ReplyDeleteDwight in N.C.
Hi Abby -- THX for the pix. You look great! And the sunset is beautiful too. Glad you are keeping up your daily maintenance tasks on Wild Eyes and remember to take good care of yourself too!
ReplyDeleteSavor every moment out there --this is a huge adventure that you've been privileged to take. And I feel privileged too, that you are taking me (and a whole lot of others) along with you via your blog.
Keep up your good work. Keep diligent. And sail safe!
GO GIRL!

ReplyDeleteWhat are you going to do when you pass over the equator? there is a wash down and some other insinuation 'of torture' as you pass the equator this is a seaman's rule.(only way to prove this is to have pictures of it)
By the picture of the sunset, you must be very hot, a two piece swim missing one part? that is alright, your by yourself, so modesty is what ever you wish it to be.
Now as you get near Cape Horn in about two months, it will be turning winter again, Jessica made it, but it was cold for her during the summer.
Keep up the work, and it gets better farther down the water.

Hi abby: I used to hate the doldrums too. Sometimes you think your going backwards. You know the drill when you cross the equator, right? I had a Village Marine water-maker on my boat. It worked pretty good. On my diesel I had a Racor filter to keep all the water out. If you get water in your diesel engine youv'e got problems. The Racor separates the water from the fuel before it is injected in your engine. You probably knew that,right? Soon after you cross the equator, you'll notice all your water will drain counter-clockwise. When your'e north of the equator all water drains clockwise. It takes a few miles southward to notice it. Anyway,have a good sail and remember: stay tied off.
ReplyDeleteWoodrow Wilson Jr. from San Diego.
Guess you’re across the equator now. The first time I crossed I had my boots on the ground in a place I’d like to forget.
ReplyDeleteGetting all greasy and stuff cant be too fun. I don’t suppose you can simply tie a rope to your ankle and jump overboard to get cleaned up. Yeah…not a good plan. Its something I might do, being the landlocked wannabe pirate that I am. Only I’d hit the water and realize I hadn’t tied the other end of the rope to the boat. So….where were we anyway?
Congratulations Miss Abby. I’m really looking forward to you rounding the Horn. WHAA WHOO!!

ReplyDeleteWell it is 6:57 here in Missouri on Friday evening. I guess you are now South of the Equator. One leg done, just a few more to do. Keep your spirits high and keep on sailing.

ReplyDeletenice smile ! go abby godspeed
ReplyDeleteIt's easy for me to say, I live in a desert. But enjoy the heat while you have it, you will probably be looking forward to a little warm sunlight for a pretty significant part of your trip. Me and my kids still check out where you are every day, and then cross reference that with the weather reports.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and stay safe.
Hey Abby...!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your update (been wondering) and great to see some pics. You're looking good, like its all agreeing with you. I'm assuming by now you've made that 6nm so did you pour a bucket over your head or what? lol..
Take care, enjoy, I'll be looking for you every day.

Thanks for the fresh photos. Who does your hair out there? Really chic & nice too. We can plainly see the Equator in that open sea-view photo, however it is not as obvious as it is on most of these maps. {{{We are aware this is serious business and this is a well meant tease in case Zac didn't get you today... Best wishes to you and Wild Eyes, y'all are a good pair ...
ReplyDeleteHi Captain Sunderland; Fixing the engine again are we? I know that is your favorite job but try not to neglect the other chores around the boat. Just teasing Abby! I wouldn't wish that job on anyone in that heat. Thank you for those fine pictures. You look healthy and contented. Getting away from the stress of the land is just what a sailor needs.

ReplyDeleteHi Abby,
ReplyDeleteNo doubt it will feel good to be able to tick off little milestones along the way, like crossing the Equator.
I gather from your comments that eau de diesel isn't one of your favourite perfumes! Hopefully you had a good sloshing of salt water to cool you and defuel you at the same time.
Pity about the southerly. But it must get better!
Wishing you all the wind you can manage - from the right quarter!

ReplyDeleteHi Abby
ReplyDeleteI am sure you know that five minutes after starting a diesel, the racor filter will look dirty. Your vacuum gauge will show you when you need to change the fuel filter...
Water makers need to be run at least every other day even if you only make product for two minutes..
Be alert, be safe, wear your shoes...

ReplyDeleteHi Abby,
So near and yet so far, (since you don’t have any wind) that’s a shame ‘cause I had figured you were already over the line. Well six (6) miles won’t be so bad, you’re probably there right now.
Good thing that you were able to get some work done, and were able to get rid of all them little ‘life forms’. They can make for some funky tasting water.
Glad to hear that everything is running good for you, and please keep it headed in the right direction….lol..
When I first glanced at your blog I saw the word ‘smell’ and I immediately thought that the squid had somehow found a good hiding spot, glad to see that wasn’t so.
I hope you were able to take a quick dip or a bucket bath and get that diesel off you, I’m sure you know it will burn you.
Keep her headed in the right direction and God Bless You, Abby.
Take good care of yourself and always be cautious.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand and may the Angels keep your sails full, and I, I will be praying for you.
