[speed] 5-8 knots[status] Still slowly slowly, but not too far to go now- just crossed into the French Polynesian EEZ. Another mahi mahi landed yesterday, so we're eating like kings again! And after 16(?) days at sea, where we saw no sign of humanity whatsover- no ships, no airplanes, no satellites at night even, we were checked out yesterday by a navy boat, and came across a squid fishing vessel last night, and saw a couple of airplanes flashing across the night sky... The pacific certainly has thus far lived up to its name, and also reminded us all that there are still places on this earth you can go and escape most signs of humanity for weeks on end. Unfortunately the pollution cannot be escaped from- there is a horrendous amount of plastic detritus floating in our oceans- please do your best to reduce, reuse and recycle:). 190 nm to go says the plotter- all going well we'll make Hiva Oa, and the small anchorage at Atuona before sunset tomorrow afternoon- see you there!
