Day 5 Las Perlas to Galapagos

A good days sailing in light downwind conditions with the main on one side and the genoa on the other. At 6pm the wind died and started to change direction so we had to motor for a couple of hours. By 11pm we had SE winds and are on a beam reach with main, genoa and stay sail out and have been sailing like that ever since.
Crew are both doing well - looking forward to crossing the equator in a couple of days and mini eggs on sun!! Jonny made bread rolls again today which were good and meant we could have a nice sandwich for lunch.

Distance traveled on Day 5: 97 miles
Total distance traveled: 559 miles
Distance remaining: 288 miles
