Day 1 Las Perlas to Galapagos

The plan had been to spend at least another day in the Las Perlas to try and avoid arriving over the Easter weekend but last night a 15 knot northerly started blowing and by the morning it was still there and too good to miss so by 8am there had been a mass exodus from the anchorage!
We started off with main and genoa and switch to main and cruising chute as the wind eased making good progress with some current. We took the cruising chute down at sunset (too hard to handle in the dark if the wind gets up or something happens) and pulled the genoa back out.
At 3.30am the wind died completely so we motored for a couple of hours but are now sailing along with the main and genoa.

First Days Run: 151 miles
