Timshel - Galapagos to Marquesas Day 10



Another flock of flying fish on the deck this morning. Decided to ring the changes and switch to poled out yankee wing and wing with the main (instead of all sails the same side) as seem to be heading south of the great circle route. Of course with the downwind rig we are heading slightly north of it. According to the weather gurus it's best to stay between 10 deg and 11 deg South so I guess we can manage that. Made some bread. Timshel's trivia this evening was about the Pacific Ocean - the largest body of water in the world and equal in volume to the moon and it contains 25,000 islands! Also Captain Cook who circumnavigated in both directions and came from Whitby.
