Underway!

We are now officially underway and headed for Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands. Once we get to the trade winds we should have an easy trip. Getting to the trades may be difficult. The last 2 days were spent with gale or near gale winds (30-40k) heading south from San Carlos, with some 10-12ft seas. We hope that that is the worst weather we get on the trip. We made over 120 miles in 24 hours with only the staysail up. We now have a forecast for several days of calms, so we will need to motor south till the winds pick up.

200 miles down, a whole lot more to go!
