Title: Bowling along

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

Well we're not short of wind today--over 20 knots of it, well reefed and bowling along at 8 knots plus for the last 24 hours. If this keeps up we'll be in the Marquesas in a week from now.

All well on board--we're all beginning to read more--a sign that there's not too much to do. And Alan's at the Soduku again--compulsive!

Going too fast for fishing--not that we'd catch anything!

And we've seen nothing but sea for 10 days.
