The crossing begins

We are now 16 hours into our trip and are very happy to still have a good wind. The first two days out of Galapagos is normally a motor to the wind further south. We have been doing about 6,8 knots helped by a 1 knot current. The sea is a little bumpy as we are working our way south to stay in the wind. We will change course to a more Westerly course in about 12 hours time, if the wind holds.

Everyone is fine on board and we are settling into the sailing routine again. We had a colourful sunset, but no green flash. 

Current position is 1deg 34,57'S and 92deg 16,74'W COG 245deg
