Ship's Log:
Ah,the trade winds at last. We have finally found the longed for consistent winds of the old trading routes. Our Grace has settled into a steady 7-8 knt. gate under reefed main, fore, jumbo and jib. It really is a treat to set your course and go. It does not take much for the Grace to get up and go, very comfortable and dry.
Its hard to believe that we have already distanced ourselves from the Galapagos by over 850 miles. Our days slip by hardly noticed out here. Teaching, chatting, showering, reading and watching the ever changing faces of the sea, easily take our daylight hours. More flying fish and a delightful dolphin show today.
