April 22 - Day 3 enroute to Marquiti

Position: N17deg03min/W155deg51min
Day 2 stats:
distance: 138 nm
avg speed: 5.75 kn
avg course: 165 T
seas: 6'
wx: it's sunny now, but we had overcast skies and intermittent squalls during the night. Highest winds were 29 knots; sustained winds were 25. This afternoon it's been 18-20 knots, with occasional higher gusts. We're still looking for those NE trade winds, but the most cooperative we've had were ENE. We've had to point off a bit for comfort, as close hauled in 25 knots of wind in 6' seas isn't all that wonderful, but we're still looking to make up our easterlies whenever and wherever we can.
