We raised anchor from Isla Pedro Gonzales at 1400hours Tuesday Panama time and are finally on our way - no anchoring tonight or for quite a few nights. Conditions are beautiful at the moment, but a bit more wind would be nice. We are motorsailing using one engine and headsail and doing 5 knots. We don't expect much wind for the next week or so so may have to get used to the sound of the engines until we get far enough south to get the trade winds. We have four lures behind the boat which is probably some sort of record for a yacht. Just received an email this morning from the Australian catamaran Mawali and they have just caught a 6 foot marlin, and I think that Virgo's Child caught one as well, so we'll see what we can do.
