Galapagos to Easter Island #6
Noon Position 21deg 51N 105deg 37W
Course – 230 Degrees Speed – 10.4 Knots Day’s Run – 253 Miles
Weather – Partly cloudy with 15′ swells from ENE
Wind – 18 knots from ENE
During the night the wind died on us and we were forced to put the engine on at 230am and take down the main sail which then made for a very rolly night. This morning the sun came up and we saw blue sky and blue seas. A very nice change from the greyness we have had for the last 2 weeks. The wind came back with the sun and we were able to turn the engine off for a few hours and then the wind went behind us again forcing us to motor with a very rolly motion. We are also getting rain squalls coming through and affecting the wind.
As these conditions are forecast to continue we will be arriving at Easter Island early morning 30th November.
