Out of the Tropics

  We passed over the Tropic of Cancer within the past hour. The temperature has drifted down into the mid-60's. The stewards on the aft deck are wearing windbreakers. True wind is about 30 knots from the NE which is the direction we are steaming at 19 knots making the 'breeze' on windward decks just under 50 knots. And seas are building. It would seem the tropical part of our vacation has come to an end geographically and meteorologically.
