Tonight we will celebrate half way between Galapagos and Marquesas in the Frensh Polynesia that we passed a few minutes ago. 1500 Nm to each side –that is 2775 km to land to the east, and to the west.

In the middle of the blue ocean!

3900 meter of water below us.

 

Currently doing 8 knots (yes, imagine to go in 15 km/hrs for 2775 km...without stopping!),

in a beautiful down wind of 15 knots. This morning we made a change in the sail-set due to dead down wind, so we are now saiing with full main and pulled-out jib.

 

The weather has now for 4 days in a row been fantastic, sunny and dry. This is almost like a dream.

Yesterday Erik was so happy and lyric and wanted to climb to heaven (se picture).

The big mainsail was his pathway.

But telling the truth, he was just taking care of our main, putting some Sikaflex in the delamination.

Our poor old mainsail is doing his last month at sea going to be replaced with a new one in Tahiti.
