323 miles to go!!

Now of course the wind is propelling us too quickly (yachties are never satisfied!)and rather than arrive in the middle of the night on Tuesday we are reducing sails to slow down to make a first thing in the morning and daylight arrival. Last night we were storming along with very reduced sails but in 17 - 22 knots of wind and surfing averaging over 8 knots speed over the ground and in the one squall we had (on Josh's watch he saw 10.5 SOG!). Today's conditions are very pleasant and settled just what we hoped the pacific would be.
Photo shows the courtesy flags as put up by Henry for The Marquesas, we have to show French national flag, Marquesas flag and until we have officially cleared in at Immigration and Customs we must show the yellow "Q" flag.
