Mike arrived safely on Saturday. Entire crossing took 19 days, 5 hours, and 14 minutes.
I asked him what he was going to do when he arrived.... he replied, "take a long shower"!
I spoke to him last night and he said he slept great on Saturday night. Finally getting to really rest.
Flyer got pretty dirty too.... so Mike will clean her up today. He said the island is beautiful with high mountains surrounding him. He is ready to go sight seeing and explore the island. Once he gets settled and finds internet.... he will post an update. The internet was not too good in the Galapagos Islands.... but, hopefully he'll have better luck here.

Headed to the Marquesas Islands
Mike departed from Galapagos Islands on May 8th heading to Marquesas Islands. He crossed the 1/4 marker on Saturday May 14th.
Said that he has really good winds.... even sailed 155 miles one day. Mike stays in contact with Stoney and me every few days. He expects to arrive around May 30th.
He sounds wonderful and says he is the luckiest guy in the world!
He wanted me to sends his regards to friends and family.

Departed Panama on April 25th
Sailed 7days and 22 hours finally arriving the Galapagos Islands on May 3rd.
I had frequent weather updates from my friend Steve Jackson.
Spent a few days and scouted out the island.... it is beautiful. The Sea Lions are everywhere.... sleeping on the docks and some boats.
I may leave tomorrow and head towards the Marquesas Isalnds. This will be my longest crossing. I will keep in touch and Steve is planning to be the weather man.
One Last thing..... Happy Mothers Day Mom
