Timshel - Galapagos to Marquesas Day 8



We have been at sea for a week now and everyone seems to be having a good sail. A shower of flying fish arrived on the deck, a couple even found there way below - must have flown in through the middle hatch. Steve was net controller and entertained folk with the curious tale of the Ile Clipperton which are north of us. Misto and Zeeland have fixed their generators, is there any in the fleet that have not broken at some point. Laura Dawn brought to our attention a yellow weather buoy right in our path, guess you don't expect anything right out here, but it will be a little while before Timshel gets that far. We had our best 24 hrs - 152 nm logged, and 178 nm made good towards our destination - there is a favourable current. Wind and sea got up by tea time so we reefed a bit for the night - made it easier to eat the fondue (from a packet) that we were having for tea.
