We are 1/2 way to the Marquesas. Yay!
Today nothing broke. No projects. Read. Sail. Pretty easy day. Wind behaved. Mr. Christian continues to track us for best wind/weather. For now we are heading south along the 125 degree 30 minute longitude. We are as,far south as 8 degrees 25 minutes. Advice is that we continue to 7 degrees North then either continue strait south or maybe bear off SW. Depends on which way the wind blows at that time.
For now it’s dark. The moon comes up later every day. Bioluminescence is brilliant in this kind of dark. And it’s warm. Jackets at night are history. That we needed them at all surprised me.
Tomorrow let’s plan on nothing to fix again. Worked out well today!
Spill the Wine Around the World 
Congratulations on 1/2 way, I’m jealous, jealous, jealous of your adventure! Now go do halyard wear and tear inspections, steering inspections, etc. mon capitaine!

The fact that you are halfway and have not had bad weather in over 2 weeks is surprising to me. Though the doldrums are supposed to be quite. Also I’m surprised you are not baking in the heat. I’ve not been that close to the equator without cooking.
As always Fair winds and following seas.
