 This morning we experienced an unusual milestone-our ship stopped mid-ocean when we reached the point on the earth that is on the equator and the prime meridian at the same time! The Captain positioned the ship with the bow due north, the stern due south, the starboard due east and the port due west! This is a very difficult thing to do! Although it looks like we are in the middle of nowhere in the ocean, and we are, here is what it looked like.
