646nm sailed in 5 days & we've only had to motor 30 hours. The sun is out and we sailing comfortabley across the big ocean swells. Life is relaxed and we've all settled into our watches. We've also started a workout routine on Monday, Wednesday & Fridays. This is supplemented when we get calms with a spot of fishing, on the condition the Jellyfish are not around!
Currently close hauled sailing 240' at 7knts towards the Galapagos. We'd like to go south soon but the wind is keeping us on this course. It'll be really cool to sail through the Galapagos but the wind may die & then we'll head south to the trade winds that are around 6'South.
We've had a few squid on the deck but still no fish on the hooks.
