Another beatiful sunny day with a good easterly
breeze pushing us along directly towards Hiva Oa. Still rolling violently which
is a triffle inconvenient but not too bad now that we know that the end is
close!
The chart plotter gives an estimate of time left to
destination at current speed which only meassures up to 99hrs and 59 minutes. A
standard joke has been all the time since we left the Galapagos that we only had
99hrs and 59 minutes left to go. Last night it changed for the first time and
now varies depending on our speed but is always less that 99hrs and 59
minutes!!
Still no luck catching any fish but the line goes
out religiously every morning. Richard has won the best looking loaf competition
for his efforts last night (I mean, of course, that the bread that he baked
won).
Running out of nuts and soft drinks for happy hour
so we need to get there soonest.
All well and starting to look forward to a meal
cooked by someone else and to see if our legs still work on solid
ground.
