Hi to all out there
Well we have had a very slow trip across
from panamar to the galapagos with most other boats taking between 8 - 14 days
and motoring the whole way it took us 8 days and we had to motor for the last
three days as we left the columbian coast for galapagos the breeze slowly died
out.
We arrived here 4 days ago and have been flat out
propering for the next leg as it is about 3500nm there is to be absolutly
nothing overlooked even if it means double checking everything.
I have taken on another crew member for the next
leg to help out with the daily running of the ship and this will allow me to
break up the watch systems and give myself and wade more time to ourselves which
means i can give more time to progress reports.
Apart from this all's well on board with the two of
us and are really starting to relax a whole lot more now we are on the Pacific
side of the canal.
Hope alls well with everyone back home and will
wright again soon
Over and Out
Hamish and Wade
