Well - the Pacific - the big one. And it is BIG. What does one do?

We fish - lost 5 got 1 [but it was the biggest we have ever tackled].
Read Books - we are consuming about 3 books a day between us.
We study French under the careful tutelage of Geoffrey Cardozo.
We look out for wild life - this morning we saw White Tailed Tropic birds and lot of Petrels [black winged and Tahiti species]
It gets pretty boring - so we ask - are we nearly there yet and check the distance to go meter - it now shows 519.
We reminisce - lots of talk of the good old days and some of fun to come.
We cook and eat.
It is hot and we now want to get there.


Head of the Marlin Are we nearly there yet?

Brookie comes out of his shell and tells us all a story — Haven’t heard that one before!
