Well, we're in lumpy seas, but at least we're moving smartly along under double reefed main and full yankee. Boatspeed is in the low 6's, which considering our comfort factor vs sea state is pretty good. Caught a 4' bull dolphin (mahi mahi) yesterday. It weighed 16 pounds, put up quite the struggle, and yielded many happy fillets for our freezer. Less than 500 miles to Wreck Bay, Galapagos! (S - As the pelican flies...we'll have a few miles added I bet). Btw, for those of you interested in following our position, Pangolin.nz (I think that's the correct web address) displays the Yotreps Reporting System of vessels reporting into them, by Ham call sign. My Ham call is KJ4IHF, and we're set up to automatically report our position to Yotreps via SSB radio once every 24 hours. So, if you go onto Pangolin's site, find the Yotreps area, and scroll down to KJ4IHF, our position should be posted. Please, somebody let us know if it all works! Cheers!
