"My boat is small and the ocean so large" this was
a quote by Anne Davison when she crossed the Atlantic in 1952 in a 27ft wooden
sailing boat.In those days 35ft was a large sailing boat,no electronic
satellite navigation ,no gas cookers only primus stoves,none of the creature
comforts,showers etc
We are probably 6x in volume to her boat and that
quote still stands for us in the Pacific mind you its getting a bit crowded in
our part of the ocean having seen 2 ships in three days we are quite
use to being like the Mary Celeste.
There is nothing much to report except that we are
938nm from Nuku Hiva ghosting along under poled out head sails at about 7 knts
and should arrive there about the 20th March.Two of the faster boats (53) who
left several days before us ,arrived in today and probably 2 more will be
in by the end of the weekend.
Well Happy Easter to you all unfortunately the
Easter Bunny doesn't visit the Pacific Ocean so its no eggs for
us
