Neptune's bucket

We crossed the equator at last at 0415/2nd at 23.40.5333 W - the place was littered with old shaving brushes, knickers, broken trident cut outs, dilapidated neon signs and a floating wooden bucket that said 'Placations Here - Or Else' so we poured a small libatory tribute en passant, thanks to Izz'n'G. Of the God himself, no sign - probably getting bored with it all. Z in hiding.

HF radio has died again. As rather expected. I think it has something to do with the links to the Pactor and the laptop. Will drag out all the stuff from the q-berth again later. DamnDamnDamn
