Happy Easter from ile de Grace Crew!

Spoke with them tonight and all sounds good. Apparently they had contact with another catameran who shared 10lbs of sailfish steaks. Must have been nice to know they aren't so alone out there!

If y'all haven't already I strongly suggest tracking them on: http://www.pangolin.co.nz/yotreps/tracker.php?ident=WDF2670
You can really see the progress they are making day-to-day...and just how out there they really are.

Via e-mail this morning:

At 0130, we're at 6 degrees 28 minutes South and 116 degrees 38 minutes West. Our speed overground is 7.7 knots and we're 1330 miles from the Marquesas. Almost 2/3 the way there.

Hope all is well with the readers and hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

Happy Easter. I assume questions are in order. If so, how closely do any of you keep up with news back in the states?

Tuesday landfall. Great. I trust you are having a smoothe ride along the rhumb line (a new term I learned from reading this blog).

According to the position locator, it appears they're still on track to reach the Marquesas on Tuesday -- ahead of schedule! Can't wait to read about the crossing from the Galapagos. Mart

Hi John
Steve gave me your blog. This is far more interesting to follow than CCN minutes. Enjoy
