Passage to Marquesas day 6

03.54.699 S 103.27.761 W cog 259 speed 7.3 wind 12-15knts 5 pm Galapagos time

Not much news from the Farm today. We had a relatively easy night, the wind has been a bit up and down so it keeps us busy reefing and un reefing. The seas are still pretty confused so rolly nights are not making for the best sleeps. Nick did a lot of 'periscoping' last night (where he sleepily pops his head up through the companion way to check things are ok). I think he was having some crazy dreams.

Busy morning in the galley - more banana bread and a lasagne. Nice to eat up some of the veggies that needed some attention. Amazing how fast things are going off compared to the Panama provisions that we got. In the Galapagos they ship most over from mainland Ecuador so its already been on the shelf for a while before you buy it. Luckily we have lots of nice tinned food as well so I dont think we are ever going to suffer too much :)

Books are being read/listened to, snacks consumed, cockpit was washed, naps have been had. Onwards we go.......
