Panama-Marquesas, Week 4

Panama to Marquesas, week 4 (week in review)

The entire month of March was spent at sea, minus the first few hours when we were still at anchor in Panama City. Only a couple more days to go.

Miles sailed: 4074

Miles to go: 200

Engine hours: 40 (rough guess)

Destination is now Nuku Hiva, not Hiva Oa as initially thought. This adds about 70 miles to the trip, and it means we’ll be looking for a good window to hopefully not have to beat upwind to get to Hiva Oa when we want to explore that island later this season.

We’re (generally) sleeping well, (usually) eating well, (frequently) sailing well, and smiling a lot. It’s not always comfortable, and not always easy.

But it’s pretty amazing.
