Richard and George have crossed the equator. Their position 1.49 South 27 west - nearing Brazil in the `strait' between Africa and South America. the 4 stars of the southern cross guide them now. If they get clear skies - which we never did when we went to Valparaiso, Chile. 7 days - never saw the stars of the southern hemisphere on our trip to visit Taisy a couple of years back.
