Yesterday was a day at sea as we sailed from French Guiana around the coast of South America towards the mouth of the Amazon. We stopped early this morning in Macaba which is close to the equator.
Macaba is not a large place and this was what they called a "technical stop" to let the pilot and the Brazilian authorities onboard. So we weren't allowed off.
Shortly after leaving Macaba we crossed the equator and we all got a certificate for doing so.
We've been sailing up the river all day and we won't reach our first stop in Santarem until tomorrow morning. The scale of everything is daunting.
We spent some of the day enjoying the view from the ship and relaxing on our balcony, but later in the afternoon it rained a lot (which I guess is not surprising as it's a rainforest)
