Oh what a difference. Winds and seas have been light and from behind us.... finally a beautiful trade wind sailing day. We did little other than enjoy it. We are less than 500 miles from the Marqueses, shooting for arriving at Fatu Hiva. Of the 8 boats we left with, one we are very close to, about 30 miles, which is quite amazing after 2400 miles. However, this boat has a problem with their diesel fuel so we are going to stay close and help them into the anchorage if necessary.
We think we should have some nice sailing the last few days of our trip as the weather outlook is pretty good.
Now bring on the rum and those island girls, we are ready for landfall.
