We saw some lights at the horizon early this morning, so we called the boat. We were surprised to hear it was also a sailing vessel on its way to the Marquises, even more surprised to hear they were a family on a catamaran and even more surprising they were from Cape Town! At lunch time we came close enough to take great photos of each of us in the middle of the Pacific. We convinced them to stop in Fatu Hiva, the 1st island we'll visit in the Marquises and we should meet properly around a braai. Typical!
Our speed is still great even if the current which was adding nearly a knot to our speed disapeared. We have done now 2/3 of the way which offers a great feeling.
Our current position is 7deg 54.331S 120deg 37.415W
