A Passage to Galapagos Wednesday 2nd
02 May 2012
A good passage so far all is well. Hot and no wind today and we are making 2knots sailing downwind with full main and full poled out genoa wing and wing. May have to put the engine on if wind does not pick up soon. Interesting Monday night full cloud cover and sailing through an electrical storm, sheet lighteningand thunder constantly for 2-3 hours. We were a bit concerned and put our backup electronics in the oven to protect it in case,we were struck (Faraday cage effect). We both spent most of it down below, although it was spectacular if not a little frightening.We have seen some pelicans whales and dolphins, and sharks so far on this trip. Pip accidently caught a seabird on her fishing lure but bravely saved it by removing the hook from its beak.Kev
