0 degrees/0 degrees

Find me on the map -- here we are at 0 degrees longitude and 0 degrees latitude!  We will be arriving in Ghana (near Accra) tomorrowmorning.  I know it is an imaginary and arbitrary point-- or at least the longitudes are.

Who knew there was a buoy to mark the spot?  How can that be -- the sea is very deep here?  The buoy is motarized -- and communicates with the sattelites to stay in the right spot.  Our ship blew the whistle and changed course a bit to get closer so we could all see.
