Mar 24 Enroute to Pitcairn/Gambiers

Position: S8deg40min/W110deg25min.
Not much to report except lousy weather leaving Easter Island. Lots of squalls and confused seas. Right now we're squandering petrochemical, motorsailing thru light wind south, in the hopes wind will (it should...) pick up from the SE around latitude 30 south. No, we're not going to the roaring 40's...All's well. From the look of the forecasted weather about the time we'd get to Pitcairn, a new low pressure area is forecast to develop which may preclude our stopping there as it would bring heavy winds and seas. We'll see day to day...
