During our passage last night to Dunedin, I looked around and couldn’t find the Southern Cross. It’s always there and it’s always easy to find. I looked to the south. Nope. I checked the compass to see if we were really going south (that would be a big problem if we weren’t) and we were. It wasn’t until I looked up that I found it, above our mast.
The further south one goes, the higher in the sky the Southern Cross gets. This tells me that at 45° south, we’re already too far south! -Rich
