3-2-10 Enroute to Easter Island

S02deg33min;W092deg32min. We had a fairly comfortable night in lumpy seas, getting used to going to windward. Wind averaged 16-18 knots, and seas were 4-6' from several directions. Our noon to noon run for this first day was 132nm, not bad all things considered. We're still checking into the morning SSB net, but expect to change nets over the next week or so as propagation isn't so good for our reception. Our buddy boat, Soggy Paws, departed Isla Isabela this morning, so we're a bit ahead of them, but expect SSB radio contact once or twice daily with them. Another 1775nm to go!
