Tipee & Yahoo - The wind is back (27/03/09)

Position 09 29S, 121 53W.
Distance to Marquesas 999 nm!!!
Distance from Galapagos 2033 nm.
Distance is last 24 hours 89 nm (worst yet).
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES.
Yipee the wind is back and we love it, whizzing along at 8 knots again with wind in our hair and a song in our hearts, and the distance meter in our eyes....yes, less than one thousand miles left.
All our wet clothes are fluttering from the lifelines, rolling along under reefed mail full genoa. Will try & "operate" on patient light air sail this afternoon, & see if the patient can be saved!
