Can't believe it's been 3 weeks, time just flies by out here (not really). Finally have gotten into the SE trades this morning, 15 knots of wind and we're finally moving better than 3 knots! Actually doing 4.5 knots on a direct course to Hiva Oa (225 degrees), at this rate I might make it in before next weekend, 785 miles to go. Reminds me of a song: "On this wind on this heading lie the Marquesas. Got 30 feet of waterline, nicely making way ...". Ok, I modified the lyrics slightly ...
That's it for today, need to shoot this off before the sun comes up and ruins the SSB radio transmission.
