Blue Hound - The passage to the Galapagos

The passage to the Galapagos

Blue Hound

Phil Marks & Rosy Jensen

Mon 25 Mar 2019 22:35

On Wednesday 13th we set sail for Galapagos a distance of 890 nm. The wind was kind the first few days but it petered out and we motored or drifted on the favourable current.

Rosy made some cushions!
