Half way in 12 days - could be a fast crossing

We've been sailing the last few days with no motoring. The seas have been big which has made our physical exercises difficult, well given us an excuse not to do any!
We finally caught our first fish. A small Dorado. The fillet was just enough make Cervice for lunch. Cut up small, marinated in lemon & lime juice with onions, and then served with crackers. mmmmmmm.
We've been navigating by the sun and it's been fairly accurate. I'm sure we would find the Marquesas if we had to with our Sextant.
The weather has been mixed with cloudy days and sunny days. Always warm and no more cold days like the one we had when we crossed the equator.
We've logged 1953 miles and have 2055 to go. So we will be half way around midnight tonight. That's make it 12 days and 9 hours to get half way. Hopefully we can keep up our average & arrive around the 3rd May.
