We left this afternoon for Cocos Keeling. It's about 520 nm, which should put us there on Monday morning. We've had a nice sail so far - 10 to 15 knots on the beam - and have averaged about 8 kts. The seas are pretty calm as well. I tried to replicate a meal from our favorite restaurant in Newport Beach, The Crab Cooker -- smoked fish, cheese mashed potatoes with paprika and coleslaw. I will admit it wasn't anywhere near as good, but it did give us a little taste of home.
