“Asolare” is now safely in the Marquesas after a very fast crossing of 16 days and 20 hrs.
We came 5th overall and 1st in class! This was actually, for us, the first leg that we competed in as we stopped off on the first Leg in the San Blas Islands and on the Ecuador Leg in the Las Perlas Islands. The leg to the Galapagos was almost all motoring for the whole fleet.
We arrived in the dark – Asolare does not seem to know any better – so anchored outside the harbour until daylight.
It is sunny but very heavy clouds and some rain but the small supermarket stocked Tonic Water as we ran out halfway across the pacific as there was none to be bought in the Galapagos!
The photo is a “sunset” time photo in the anchorage with ARC yacht settling down for then night.
