We're closer to the Galapagos than to Mexico. Where do the miles go? ETA (not a promise, but an estimate): June 8 6:00 am.
In the ITCZ now and, true to form, the wind has dropped. From sailing to motor sailing to motoring with the jib furled by 3 this morning. Just had a nice burst of 8 knot sailing, but it was just a cell. We'll probably encounter lots more of these between dead calm areas.
Passed two pods of dolphins today, one of which ignored us and kept feeding, the other of which came for a nice visit. We also watched a 7 foot marlin leap out of the water 150 feet to port.
Listening to Eat a Peach - just like in 1972 except instead the Bruckmann's Volkswagen bug, we're in Pete and Di's 46 foot sailboat. Ooh, Mountain Jam. Yeah.
Diana and Martha should be on their second day of hiking in Peru today. Hangin' with the Incas!
It's my eldest daughter Rebecca's 25th birthday today. Happy Birthday!
