Day Five, going to the Galapagos

Dear all,

Life onboard is all good, We have had unexpectedly good winds, yesterday we
had 20-25 knots for most of the day and made great progress, today the winds
have been lighter (5-15knts) but with the spinnaker up we have made good
speeds in the right direction. Generally the winds die during the night and
we have to motor for a few hours rather than roll around going nowhere very
fast!

Last night we had a bird land on the top of the mast, he/she was obviously
very tired and saw Ocean Lady as a free ride. He/she wasn't even put off
when we put the tricolor mast head light on - although the bird did look
very funny with a red beak and green tail. This morning we saw a whale for
the first time, it briefly came close to Ocean Lady for a couple of
appearances then disappeared.


With this progress we expect to get to San Cristobal on Friday.
Our noon position yesterday was: 03 14N, 82 11W
and today was: 02 17N, 84 08W

We hope everyone at home is well,
Love Ocean Lady
