What an adventure! We caught a tuna, ate coconuts, baked bread and kept Victoria moving forward for 24 days at sea. We had a party almost every day - to celebrate crossing a milestone such as the 1,000 mile mark, or the Tropic of Capricorn. The sunsets and moon rises we incredible. One evening, a pod of huge Rossi dolphins came for a visit. The 600 pound diesel generator engine broke free of its mounts and the water maker high pressure hose sprung a leak, spraying salt brine all over the engine room. We found ways to deal with a shortage of propane, water and electricity. We found Easter Island while making our way through a pouring rain storm. Very happy to be here and looking forward to the next stop - Pitcairn Island, home of the descendents of the HMS Bounty mutineers.
