Well hello there cruise lovers!
We left Santa cruz at 7pm and are finally starting the big leg to The Mauquesas. We had a few engine difficulties at the start so thought we would have to pull into Isabella Island but all is well on The Whitbread. Well today is my Birthday on board and of course have been intiltiled to a fab day off. It has been fantastic!!! Sam and Wolfie baked a cake!! A Cake!!! They all sang happy birthday and came bearing gifts. I have been really spoiled, i received a hand made necklace from shells collected from Santa Cruz from Wolfie, the most beautiful chain, a leather diary and organizer from jeff, a bottle of your finest Irish Liquer from Marcel and a group Whitbread Galapagos swinging chair for the deck, how cool is that!!!!
A squall came thru an hour ago which brought us 20 kts which gave us 9.9 kts boat speed and a welcome shower for the smelly boys!!!
It must be my Birthday!!!!!!
Speak soon land lovers!!! Caz xoxo
