We've had 24 hours of good sailing, and this morning took a reef in the
main. There is a largish sea on the beam which every now and then gives us
a bit of a roll and is making life on board a little less comfortable.

According to our calaculations we have covered 1/4 of the distance to the
Marquesas, which is good! To celebrate the kids have been given a book and
a pack of collecting cards.

Yesterday saw the last of the fresh meat and the last of the Galapagos
bread. Our bananas have yet to ripen and the other fruit and veg is doing
ok.
