Well technically thats not true, in fact last time through here I probably passed further south as we were bound for Suva not Savusavu, what is true is we're going to cross the 180 west (or east) meridian in a couple of hours. Brighton is pretty much on the 0 meridian. Without sailing 30 degrees south aka the Screaming fifities, so called cos thery're worse than the roaring fourties its as far away from home as I'm going to get.

Which way is home? Well the GPS says its 8773 Nautical miles exactly due north of here. Which does make sence. Its just wierd, I feel I've come the wrong way sailing west all the time. Still from now on I'm getting closer to Brighton, not furhter away.

"Look out Brighton the scum's coming home!"
