Not much to report, have been motoring most of the day with no wind to speak of. Since sunset there has been a 5 knot SW wind (just off the nose), not enough for the main as the rolly seas throws the boom around to much. So i still have one motor going and the jib. Averaging 5 knots. The sea state is still very rolly with big holes and chops and funny stuff. Despite the lack of wind the sea is not getting smooth which indicates nasty winds nearby?? Andy is still struggling a bit with seasickness (he hasnt thrown up, just feels a bit crap)... the rest of us are fine. I worked out that we should just make it to Galapagos with our fuel if we motor all the way on one engine. But if we get just half a day of ok wind somewhere then we will easy make it fuel-wise. Either way i am not fussed. If push comes to shove i will keep fuel in reserve and simply wait for favorable winds. Thats what sailors do i believe hahaha.
Our pos is 05deg47.102N and 84deg11.542W, our heading is still 220deg, on the rhumb line. Speed is 4,5-5knots, we have around 500miles to go so a good 100hrs (4 days) ahead.
