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.
