Our noon to noon run yesterday to today was 159 NM- that was with the first 6 hours or so moving at 3.5 to 4 knts- I went to make water this morning and turned out we are moving to fast on this tack to be able to pull water out of the ocean- a situation previous owners have mentioned- so we agreed that rather than change tack or slow down we will conserve water until the conditions change. we have plenty of water, will just cut back on showers etc. We are about 650 miles from the equator. And then about 900 miles from Hiva Oa- we are more than half way in terms of miles -and depending on weather maybe 10 to 12 days out- A lot will depend on what happens in the ITCZ (the doldrums) if it turns out to be narrow- we may just flash through and pick up the SE trades on the other side.
