    At Sea - Lima to Manta Day 2

    March 28, 2024, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    OK yes I said we would be in Manta today. Wrong! It happens when you get old and don't check your itinerary.
    Calm day, still cooler than I thought as we are closing rapidly on the equator.
    No dolphins, whales, etc. A few birds and small fishing boats. We can see the coast in the haze at the moment.
    Passed through some fog earlier, complete with fog horn. We probably have to do some more crosswords.
    Update: I take it back about the dolphins. A huge pod just went past. Too far away to get anything on a phone camera. I was able to tirelessly transfer an image from the 'proper' camera. Hi tech stuff!
    Update 2: diesel was $8 a gallon in Peru, not $8 a litre. Seems they use the metric system, but fuel is in gallons. 😕
