Off we are - Pacific crossing

Our First Day across the Pacific, starting on the 29 th of February around 17:00 UTC:

As long we have been in this Area it has shown absolutely no Winds towards the Galapagos Islands.


All of a sudden we received a Weather window with 20 knots NE Winds to start off with and than getting Lighter in three Days time. That is our Ticket. We got to go know! So we did.
Here we are know on our first Day making an average of 10 miles per hour. That gives us a great head Start.


The Goal is to get to more or less to 10 Degrees South to get out of the Equator Latitudes and pick up the SE Trade Winds.
Our Weather forecast we receive via e-mail through our Single Side band Radio.
