Position 07 04S, 101 21W.
Distance to Marquesas 2224.
Distance from Galapagos 792.
Distance in last 24 hours 130.
We're on the edge of the doldrums/tradewinds so there is a lot of unsettled weather (higher winds and rain) as the two meet, so we are using this to help us. Like we said, we'll make friends with any wind that comes our way. We could easily head south and be out of the eternal boatwash, but we feel that to head south too soon would not be good, as we have many miles West to go. So we think it's best to gradually make our way southwest as much as possible. Our lat. long. for the Marquesas is 09 45S, 138 45W, so if you look on Google Earth you'll see the distances and angles.
All is well - these winds and rain are keeping us busy. We have caught gallons of water already.
