With less than 900 miles to completing our 3000 mile Pacific passage , we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just waiting for the flies and mosquitoes to pinch us as a reminder of land soon to come.
Our sail has been very enjoyable. Our basil plant begs to differ, as we love Italian night- it is currently recovering from a tomato and basil salad.
The crew has been on a 3 hour rotating night watch and has been cruising at a steady pace of 9-10 knots enjoying the promised trade winds, with only the bright spinnaker to pull us through the deep blue seas.
