Just over the Equator we awoke to find visitors had been on the boat!

The first squid was on the galley floor, as I got out of bed I stood on it with bare feet! YUK! It must have jumped up and in through the small galley window quite a distance!!

Freddie was excited to collect them.

One squid even made it’s way between the bimini and the sprayhood.

Amazing when we consider Miss Tippy ‘s deck is high above the water line and then to find it’s way above deck between two layers of canvas??? WIERD.

The squid were all over the deck and it was a mystery how they got there!

As they were dead Brian made a SQUID necklace for the Equator initiation ceremony! NICE!
