Day 19, Thursday, 6th May, 2010. Galapagos to Marquesas

Land Ho, We’ve Arrived!

Eighteen days and about five hours at sea! It was a little rough at times but overall a good passage in good time. We’re happy and extremely excited to see land.

A big frustration is that the navigational computer which we also use to post our position reports, update the blog and send emails while at sea is not working. Robert reloaded the software once but that was only a temporary fix. We still have navigation software running but we won’t be able to communicate while at sea. Tahiti in a couple of weeks is most likely our first opportunity to get it repaired.

Needless to say, we have a lot to catch up on with the blog, including our time in the Galapagos. So over the next couple of weeks until we arrive in Tahiti, we’ll have some blog posts scheduled every few days so you can see where we’ve been.

After exploring the Marquesas we’ll sail to the Tuamotu islands and atolls then to Papeete, Tahiti.
