ITCZ

N04 53
W130 58
The wx is changing, after a week of NE trade winds. We may be getting close to the ITCZ (aka "doldrums") where N & S hemisphere wx meet with lots of clouds, moisture & variable wind, sometimes mixed with squalls. We are hoping to find a longitude to cross equator with wind, & are currently shooting for W133. Wind was from all directions today. Temp on board was well over 100-degrees down below today & impossible to rest, but afternoon rain has cooled it right off!
