We are on day 3 at sea sailing towards the Galapogos Islands, we have seen some amazing wildlife so far - a couple of sharks, lots of birds, dolphins and a turtle, The Pacific is teaming with wildlife its amazing, more than the caribbean sea anyway.
The first few nights at sea were very wet, lots of lightening all around us and lots of rain, its the first time we have ever topped up our water tanks to full with rain water and it only took around 15 minutes! We have been in contact on the radio with two other boats Samsara and Clementine. They are two Australian boats but we've just lost contact now as we are ahead of them by a few miles, we are waiting for them to catch us. We also got a massive marlin on our hook yesterday but thankfully it flicked itself off, it was the biggest fish i have ever seen on the end of a line, we were very grateful it got away because i couldn't have dealt with it.
A few hours later we caught a lovely sized tuna so we had that for lunch today and it was delicious, although I'm still pining for a Mahi Mahi (Dorado , its my favorite). It's coming up to 5 o'clock and we have taken on a tradition from Sulana which is drink time (tea usually) and listening to some Desert Island Discs Ahoy for now, another update coming soon.
