To the Marquesas, Day one

Well, we’re off. At just before 1:00 p.m. local time in the Galpagos we pulled the anchor and set out for the Marquesas.

If the conditions will stay like this for the next 18-20 days it will be a fast, comfortable passage. About 15 knots of breeze on a beam reach an Evenstar is eating up the miles making 8+ knots on the rhumb line in a good breeze.

Not much to add more at this point since we’re only a few hours on the way. After a nice dinner of Danielle’s meat patties we’re getting settled in for the night watch routine. All is well so far.
