We left Isabela, Galapagos last Tuesday (9th). After two days of little
wind, a short squall brought change and we settled into the 'trade
winds' varying in strength, but maintaining a reasonable course and
speed. There is little visible wildlife mid ocean, plenty of flying
fish, a few storm petrels (Galapagos Wedge Rumped or Elliot's -
undetermined), and yesterday a small pod of Pilot Whales with a good
display of their identifying dorsal fins swam past, 15m from the boat
(sadly no pics sail trimming at the time). Counting the miles to go, we
are now a third of the way to Pitcairn Island with almost 1000 miled
under the keel.
