1599 miles to go, 202 miles toward destination this 24 hour period. Very nice day then some squalls late afternoon. Easy night, then lots of squalls with 40 degree wind changes around 5am. To look at our mileage you would think the wind was steady from one direction but it's not. We are constantly making course corrections and changing sail plans to adapt to the changing conditions. Another Australian boat joined our net called Stormlegs, a single hander 22 days out of Panama with 1900 miles to go yet till he reaches the Marquises. Not stopping in the Galapagos makes for a long trip.
