We are going very well. Yesterday we turned on the engine and only turn it off this morning. We are making water and with the sea so calm we can have showers everyday (yes, cruisers in general don't have this luxury, especially during a passage). Today we put the spinnaker up and we keep going well. We have very light winds, we are not complaining, we prefer to use the enginel than have too strong winds. Sunday is pancakes day and we were able to make them, a nice treat for a passage. One interesting thing we are seeing is the sea is full of pumice from a recent eruption of a volcano in the Kermadec Islands, around 250 miles southeast from us. Life is good.
