Galapagos - Marquesas Day 1

Yesterday morning at 7am we set off on the longest leg of our trip (and the longest leg for most circumnavigators). It was strange as we didn't feel any of the anxiety we did before we set off across the Atlantic. Funnily enough it just seemed like a normal thing to be doing!
The Pacific leg we are on now will take us only half way across the Pacific yet it is over 3,000 miles! The Pacific is quite huge really, more than twice the size of the Atlantic Ocean, theoretically able to easily contain all the world's land masses with room to spare, over 6 miles deep in places and trenches that are 1.5 miles deeper than Mount Everest is tall!!
Despite this fearsome set of statistics we have been motoring over a glassy sea for the last 24 hours due to zero wind! 4 other boats left with us (Christine Anne, Sunchaser, T-Rex and Orono 1) and we are all chugging along burning our Galapagos diesel. We need to head south to at least 5 degrees south before we get the SE trades which we are hoping will push us along nicely all the way to the Marquesas.
All is well on board as we settle into life at sea - only another 3 or 4 weeks to go!!

24 Hour Run: 138 n/m
