Distance to the Marquesas: 173 nautical miles
Weather: 13-17 knots wind from East, few clouds, lots of sun
Mood of the crew: almost a little sad
The weather is kind to us again. The wind turns to the East and we take down the spinnaker pole.
SuAn seems to be quite excited. She is trying to go as fast as possible and currently she sails between 6 and 7 knots. If she manages to maintain this speed for the rest of the distance we could reach Hiva Oa by tomorrow afternoon.
We are almost a little sad that this very exciting passage will be over soon. The experience of the solitude in the middle of the vast Pacific is a very special privilege and we enjoy every minute of it.
