8 april position

Got a call from Louis on board, and he is 730 miles out in the Pacific, position 04 08S, 101 28W - had wind of 30 knots yesterday and did a 175 mile day. They've had 2 x 2m marlins on the lines but when they jumped they cut the lines...too big for our rigs..;-) - Currently there is 4 knots of wind, no waves, on engines. Menno and Francis are asleep and Louis is about to cook marinated pork for dinner...and pasta and octopus for lunch...not my cup of tea those rubber things..more in a couple of days when he calls back...

Finally off to The Marquesas

Louis finally managed to get delivery of the propeller and they are off - he says it should take about 20 to 25 days to get to Hiva Oa. I'll be staying in touch from Australia via satphone, and then joining them in the Marquesas in the first week of May. I'll keep you posted over the next few weeks of their trip.

Still in Galapagos..awaiting a propeller

Maverick Dream is still in Galapagos, awaiting a new propeller. It's been over 3 weeks since it was shipped from the USA via Fedex..and still not there. Hope it doesn't take too long...
