The trip from Galapagos to the Marquesas was incredible. I had great weather with only one day of showers. I have to give credit to my navigator/weather man.... thanks Stoney.
This information is for my friend Al Hyde.... 3000nm trip-461.25hrs= 6.504kts. Engine used only to charge batteries and refrigeration... 28hrs- 5.5 gal.
I plan to set sail tomorrow, headed to an island called Tuamotus..... about 500nm.
What pics! Kicking Great is what they are-wish I were there to be Queen for the [Mahi] Day!
