Finally we leave the Marquesas - Thursday May 14th.

Position 12 degrees 21 S, 141 degrees 41W - day 2.
Distance from Tahoie Bay Nuka Hiva Marquesas-280
Distance to Makemo Atoll Tuomoto Archipeligo-215
Distance is last 24 hours - 130 miles.
We pulled out of Nuka Hiva after 6 weeks. It was hard to leave what with shipwrecked sailors (still missing by the way). No wind, then we met up with some Brit, Kiwi and Aussie sailors we know from Panama, so it was fun and frolics with them. We all hired a 4X4 truck and explored the island, and topped it off with a big feast at a beach restaurant.
So far we've sailed, and are hoping the wind will hold for the whole trip. The forecast is for light winds so we'll try our best to sail the whole way.
