Someone reminded me that the length
of this leg is equal to the distance from Moscow to Beijing. Ten days out
and seven to go certainly sharpens one's sense of distance. At 6am this morning
we sighted the first ship or we have seen since leaving the Galapagos. It was a
small tanker, probably heading from Tahiti to Panama. We haven't seen any
polution in the ocean or any aircraft.
There's little else to report. The trade winds blow
with remarkably consistency of strength and direction, there are a few fluffy
clouds during the day which often produce rain showers at night. Tomorrow night
we will have a full moon which is nearly bright enough to read by. We have eaten
our fish stocks so Tony and Mike have been let loose again and we are looking
forward to more sashimi and tuna steaks.
