Cruising-Day 3

Sunflower never fails to surprise me, she makes the miles easy and super comfy. 1st day hard on the wind we made 130nm's good, next day 147 and today 151. We still have the current on our port side but last night and today was the only times that it seems to slow us down a little. Today it is really strong and we are pointing an extra 30 degrees to make our course and still getting pushed north. Tonight sometime we will pass about 50-60 miles south of the Galapagos and hopefully according to the pilot charts our current will change and slowly become more favourable. Yesterday was awesome sailing in 15-18 knots on the beam, full sail and we were doing 7-8 knots all arvo. Was mesmerising watching us cruise over the swells so easily without any effort. We put 2 reefs in the mainsail at night so there is no need to go on the foredeck after dark but it slows us down a bit but we still made alright miles although there was a fair bit of rain around and the wind was a bit all over the place.
There's also a surprising amount of fishing boats around, you see there bright lights in the distance and early this morning we passed quite close to one and I think it was a big purse seiner probably catching tuna.
The water has warmed up a little from 13.9 degrees to now 18.4 let's hope it's a bloody bit warmer though when we get there! Put the line out this afternoon but no luck as yet so have just taken out some mince, normally as soon as that's defrosted we will land a fish, had sashimi and then Thai fish cakes with the last tuna 🐟
Bit slower day today as winds are light and also forecast light for tomorrow but let's see, maybe if we're in the Equatorial Current we will still make another 150nm 🌻⛵️😉
Our position 02*13.600s 88*38.000w. 3100nm to go
