The first 24 hours was excellent with good winds on the beam and we were
doing 8-9knots.
Since then the wind has fallen away and we have had to motorsail for a
while.
Forecast is for the tradewinds to start to build over the next few days
so should be on our way again.
We cannot motor for long periods even if we want to as we cannot carry
enough diesel for 3000miles.
Caught a tuna yesterday so fresh Tuna and salad for luch today.
As things stand difficult to predict passage time but 3 weeks looks
about right, maybe a few days more ( or less)
Attached a few photos from the Galapagos that we did not have time to
upload.
Shown are sea lions, a fur seal, blood footed booby and chick,
beautiful!!
