We were in need of a good day! It is late afternoon/ early evening as we heading into our 21st day at sea. This morning the crew
rallied and took the torn main sail down and put up our spare main sail. After motoring due to light winds, the breeze came up
this afternoon and we are enjoying deep broad reach sailing on the rhumb line to the Marquesas, and we are making about 6 knots in
11-13 knots wind.

When we turned the engine on at 0500 this morning, we ended 15 days of continuous sailing, which has been fabulous all in all.

And it is very nice to be sailing again with both genoa and main sail on the same side of the boat! Our weather forecasts for
winds are not super encouraging as we have a trough south of us giving us lighter winds possibly the rest of the way to Hiva Oa.

Distance sailed: 2,946 miles
To Hiva Oa: 296 miles
