5 July

Position 14:00 UTC -6  01°05.6590S  090°57.0310W

Up with the sun – except that there was not sun, just cloudy – and the anchor up by 06:15. Motored south into a stiff breeze to clear Isla Santa Cruz, then altered course to clear Isla Isabela, before we could set our proper course to Marquases. Motor-sailed most of the day, but the evening brought wind and current. What a pleasure.

A couple of humped-backed whales gave us a close call one to port then one right in front of the starboard bow.

Beautiful nearly full moon night, no clouds. It is times like this that I know why I do these trips.

Cheers

Chris
