Laura Dawn - Pacific Log 8: Mid Pacific breakfast celebrations



We are truly replete! After a mid Pacific celebration breakfast cracking out the Branston beans no less, bacon, eggs, potatoes and bread the boat is a little lighter, but we are carrying our full bellys off for a nap. Its official: we have less than 1500 miles to go to the Marquesas. Woop Woop! We still have the full genoa and reefed main with 18 - 22 knots of wind, making 7 - 8 knots, although it was quite a bit livlier overnight with heavy rain squalls and 27 knots on Jacks watch.

It seems crazy that at 1500 miles from land yesterday we were within 8 miles of 3 other boats. We had Altair, Sandvita and Ocean Bird for company and can see Sandvita and Taistealai on the horizon this morning. Its a happy feeling to have company and buddies we can chat to on the radio.

We are still clearing Kamikaze flying fish off the trampoline each morning: 2 today. Does that count as catching fish?

Sending special speedy recovery wishes to Hels Dad, who is hopefully being released from hospital today after his knee replacement.. Bend.. straighten... bend.... straighten...
