Pacific Crossing day 17 and we’re over 3200nm from Panama and have just under 1000nm to go until we reach the Marquesas Islands.
All going to plan that’ll give us an arrival date of the 3rd.
The last few days have seen scattered showers and some minor squalls. We’ve had winds form 4kts to 28kts and the direction has oscillated from NE and SE.
Seems we’ve found some more stable air flow now and are making great time averaging over 8kts for the last five days.
Boat and crew are going great however we’re a bit tired as there’s only the two of us onboard so at night we take it in turns to do what’s known as watches.
My wife does from 6pm - 2am and I do from 2am - 10am then during the day we both take it in turns. Works well for us and it’s a real treat just having the two of us onboard for such a long passage. It’s a great way to discover whether you married the right women 😁 I’m happy to say I did 👍❤️
Few pics below from the last few days.
