Timshel - Galapagos to Marquesas Day 7

Another day sailing under blue skies, just the flying fish for company. Still reaching with 3 sails set - main, yankee and staysail, making 6 knots or more most of the time, and so far managed to avoid any more squalls. We slowed down temporarily first thing in the morning (by reefing away the yankee) in order to deploy the shark (towed charger), it gets in a terrible fankle if you try letting it out doing more than 2 or 3 knots. The news on the net was of Arabela managing to fix their engine (starter motor), North managing to fix their generator, someone, (Hanna?) caught 3 fish, but Tulla Mhor spent all day cleaning up diesel from a can that had split. Everyone is much more conversational on this leg, genuinely trying to give helpful advice when a boat reports a problem, and a lot of sharing of information. we have also acquired an extra boat for the net, an Australian boat doing the same trip has joined in.
