We are definitely half way there, regardless of how you look at it - yahoo!! Counting down the miles now. We are sailing down wind, wing on wing, headed straight for Hiva Oa.

Last night was a great night - no squalls, and nice steady wind to move us along. We doused the spinnaker just before sunsent last night, but it gave us a bit of a fit first. The sock at the top of the sail was twisted around and woudln't slide down over the spinnaker. So we managed to pass the sock line back around the spinnaker a few times (not an easy feat!), but we got it done and it worked! If it hadn't worked, we weren't sure how we were going to get it down with out making a big mess and half of it going in the water. It is a big sail, so you can't just grab and stash it - especially in 18 knots of wind.

So not much else new around here. Just checkin in to let everyone know all is well.
