This is a picture of one of the sunrises. There were many beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and some that weren't.
Well, after 28 days on the water we reached the Marquesas, Hiva Oa to be exact. It was a welcome sight and we were all glad that we had made it. The batteries didn't get any worse and we did all we could to conserve power. We only ran the motor about an hour a day to build up the charge (that they would hold) and we had found out the problem battery. We disconnected the bad one and worked with the other 2. We had bought a small 12volt battery for the hookah and had to use it a few times to start the motor (and then we recharged it).
With all of the trials of the batteries, we had also had to endure squalls, no wind and confused seas for the entire crossing. BUT, WE MADE IT, 2700 miles of open ocean.

I will add additional information later.
