Sea Monkey is happily sailing along still. We have great 15 knot wind trade wind weather today but had some more light and squally days before that so it is looking likely that we will arrive in Samoa on Thursday this week now. Although that will actually be Friday local time as they decided a few years ago to change to the other side of the international date line; we are sailing from Cook Islands time of UTC-10hrs to Samoa time of UTC+13hrs so jump forwards a whole 23hrs!

Still not a boat in sight. Only a few dolphins and seabirds to occasionally keep us company out here. Expecting to start seeing more soon as we sail north of American Samoa and then in towards Samoa.
