Apparently the Horse Latitudes were also known as the doldrums. The doldrums were any area in the open ocean where a ship could become becalmed. The word of course is also used to describe a dull, listless feeling or general gloominess. Probably how I'd feel being stuck for an extended period on a boat in equatorial waters.
