Over the hump

Yep just under 270 miles to the equator. Wind has been dead calm for the past 16 hours and don't expect much more for the next 24. We are a little over 300 miles from the where we plan on anchoring in the Galapagos so about 48 more hours. Finally getting some favorable set and drift. At least it isn't dead on the nose but more abeam. Managing to carry an average of 7kts running a single engine at 2200 or 1.3gph consumption. We slipped into an overcast condition around 8pm local and have seen one brief cloud battle with flash lightning early in the evening. Crossed paths with several fishing boats using long line sets similar to those by the Mexican pangas. Difference, while these guys still use a floating flag pole to designate the end, they have one at each end and at night they have small strobes. Much easier to avoid. Their boats are also lighted. It got pretty warm yesterday, in the mid 90's. No wind makes it difficult to keep the main salon temperature down. Just have to find a shady spot. While the sails aren't providing any push they are providing shade. Well all for now!

Sailing since the mid 90's. Prior to this trip, 4 sailing adventures from Vancouver WA to the San Juan and Gulf Islands in the Straits of Juan de Fuca. Bought ORCINIUS in West Palm Beach Fl in April 2010. Sailed her South through the Panama Canal and back up the West coast to home port. [...]
Extra: Lisa is the real captain. I have never been at the helm when docking or anchoring, she has a great touch to docking.
