Still no wind and we motored for the whole day! We saw land just before dark, but it was one of the two islands we have to sail past to get to Nuku Hiva where we are bound for (Kate is not very impressed at having to sail past land after not having seen any for 3 weeks!).
We slowed down at around midnight to time our arrival for first light, and we finally dropped anchor at 7am local time this morning. The scenary is spectacular with huge green cliffs in every direction. The smell of land is also quite refreshing after 3 weeks of sea air!
24 Hour Run: 128 n/m (+15 n/m for day 23!)
Total Distance Run: 3,108 n/m
Average Speed: 5.85 knots
Average Daily Run: 140 n/m

Jonny & Kate,
I ran into your blog searching for information on the Galapagos-Marquesas cross. My father is planning to do this trip and I'm looking for places to get good information. I'm going to read your posts and catch up. Thank you for writing this blog, good luck on the rest of your voyage.
Andres
