In the first 48 hours we covered 315 nm and
are very excited about the favorable winds. After 7 hours motoring
last night we have been sailing again all day since the early hours of the
day.
The Pacific swell is much more comfortable than the
Atlantic swell and we are enjoying our trip so far.
Today we caught two black-finned tuna and will have
a little feast celebrating the beginning of of our
Pacific voyage.
We saw a large turtle very close to Kahia feeding on
jelly fish but did not manage to grab the camera in time. Well there will be
plenty of opportunities.
Every morning we are checking in on the Pan Pacific Net
(8143 kHz) to give our position and check in with other sailors on the same
route. It is a good way of getting information and hearing how the others are
doing. We miss the Magellan Net and familiar boats who crossed the Atlantic with
us and hope to see some again soon.
