Celebrate - Dash Away All & Whales Tales!



Behind the Fleet by two days to stay at Galapagos for the autopilot installation, we are now within 20nm of the next boat in the fleet. Also, we were a few days without wind, motoring and trying to conserve our fuel running the engine at only 1500RPM's which slowed us.

Finally, we picked up the trade winds at 12 knots (plus & minus). We were sailing along nicely at mostly 8knots when our Genoa sail jammed, so slowing down to 5-6knots with just the Mainsail up.

Fixed the Genoa to deploy about half way so now enjoying 7-8knots of speed again with Trade Winds at a high of 23knots! Yeah!

Whopping Whales Tails from a pod of whales right at our starboard bow a few days ago! What a fun sight!

Happy to be dashing away with the rest of the Fleet!
