Beautiful sunny day today. A morning of washing and drying sheets and underpants. Sunday Island has a bit of extra sail area with the sheets hanging from a line on the boom.
Emilie had a busy morning in the Galley cooking cookies and muffins.. yum yum yum and sorting through the remaining fresh food onboard. Eggs as usual have not faired well.
Yesterday evening we saw a ship pass 10nm astern of us on a course of 295, I guess towards Taiwan or China? This is the only vessel we have seen since leaving Galapagos.
Today we put the clocks back another hour. The difference between Galapagos and Marquisis is 3.5 hours, so now we have 1.5 hours to change before our arrival.
