Day 22- Thursday June 2nd

Hi everyone-

Another day of good winds, although it’s dropping off a bit right now at
5PM. We averaged apprx. 7 knots most of yesterday & last night. The
strong current here wants to take us to Tahiti instead of our first
destination, Hiva Oa, the Marquesas. The strong winds coupled with the
counter-current makes for a tiring, hairy-at-times ride. We heeled
completely over again last night, but amazingly (for me) neither Jim or
I woke up! If I didn’t have the netting & rope contraption to keep me in
‘bed’ I’d have flown across to boat to land on Jim. We’re starting to
fantasize about all the things we’re gonna do when we get there. (Like
SHOWER…for 2 hours!).

Warm aloha,
Darla

300 miles to go to our turn into Hiva Oa, the Marqueses so its coming
down to the last of the crossing maybe.
