Last night we had the Southern cross crisp and clear high in the sky to south, the moon shimmering on the water to the north. Camelot bounding onwards; seems like she could go on forever, but the crew are ready for a good rest in the bay. We'll have to "heave to" tonight (stop the boat) and go slow so we arrive in daylight Saturday morning (also Neil's birthday). Can't wait to see the tall majestic mountains rising up from the ocean, the new scenery will be welcome.
Strange how you learn to adapt and live moving along constantly, over a ludicrous amount of miles and ridiculous slow speed.
We haven't thought too much about the whole vastness of it all; too busy focused inwards on the boat, making it go, keeping it going, and taking care of ourselves. Everything is very time consuming as stuff moves about while you are trying to work with it. Ourselves included - we've all been flung across the cockpit and galley a few times, not to mention the "head" toilet!
Anyway LAND HO....................after 22 days, not actually a bad time from the Galapagos.
