Getting closer to the Marquesas! Hopefully we will get there on Thursday.
 
The sea is rocking us a lot since yesterday. But the wind is fairly constant so we move along nicely.
 
The spinnaker was hoisted yesterday afternoon. We had a great sail for about 3 hours until the port sheet broke and the kite went up flying. So in went the spinnaker and up again when we reattached the sheet. A few minutes later we noticed a little tear at the top of the sail so we quickly took in down again. Mike repaired it this morning. The major repair that he did the other day held up well. He is so talented, isn't he?
 
Otherwise all good here. No more fishing success so far but we ate some of our Wahoo last night with a banana curry sauce that I made. It really was delicious.
 
A demain
