[weather] SE-SSE 10-18 and beautiful clear skies
[speed] 6-10 knots[status] Another beautiful day! And getting hotter again, following the anomaly of the Galapagos, where cold at night was quite a shock, being situated directly on the equator and all. Its now back to 'normal' tropical conditions, high 20's and humidity, making deck-time during the day best to be avoided- hiding in the shadow of the spinnaker is the place to be! We're expecting more warmth as we move further away from the cold Humbolt current that drives the cooler temperatures around the Galapagos. The mahi mahi is absolutely amazingly delicious- Mikeys cooking it minimally too perfection and the accompanying greek salads and rice are the finest accompaniment. All on the boat is fine, apart from the alternator which I'm about to attack - slipping belt I'm sure so that will have us generating power effeciently again at night when the solar doesn't help. We're charging through our water supplies too, so the watermaker will be put through its paces in the next few we
eks. Fortunately we got it running smoothly in the Galapagos, so all is well. And of considerable concern- tp.. We're on rations of a roll and a half for the next 1760nm til we get to the Marquesas!
