Day 256 - Panama - Galapagos Passage - Day 3
Monday 6th
April - As of midnight day-3 we were at position 4:13.96N 81:29.99W The Tormenter – No
fish hear however Sharks and Rays a plenty. It is suppressing how many sharks
we see, we have seen many lonesome fins glide by and every evening we watch
manta rays jump out of the water and do flip’s. Another day of great
wind after it sprung up around midnight, only once again to be becalmed in the doldrums,
the biggest issue we have is that after spending a week in the Las perlas
islands our diesel reserve is down to 40 Liters and we can not afford to motor,
anyhow there is no way we could motor all the way to the Galapagos as it is
still another 600 miles away. There for this night we sat out on deck with the
sails down bobbing up and down in the vast ocean sipping a glass of Gin and
Tonic. Once we were tired we just went to bed and did not rise until 6:30 AM.
We still had no wind so on went the engine and off we went. Day 256 Destination – Average Speed
