[weather] Grey skies, agitated sea, SW 20-25, close hauled, heavily reefed and pounding!!
[status] DAY 8... This morning we completed one week at sea. And today has been the most difficult and uncomfortable so far. Even the Bobbies left us. 6 years ago we did this trip, Panama to Galapagos, in 6 days. It was one of our best passages, quick, flat, comfortable and enjoyable. Sadly none of these qualities apply this time around. But we knew that! It is, after all, the wrong season for this leg of the trip. So let's hurry up, pass these islands and get into more trade wind stuff and pleasant conditions. 1 week down, 7 or maybe 6 to go!

To reach a port we must set sail. Sail, not tie at anchor. Sail, not drift.
