Day 27 : Smooth Sailing : May 30

What ever happened to Tony Danza??

Brian and I added the second, lower lifeline today, and continued to sand and varnish inside the cabin windows to protect the wood from sun damage, a project we began a few days ago, interrupted by continuous squalls.

We’ve definitely hit the trades south of the equator, with steady winds, Wendy keeping us on course, less heavy seas and a smoother ride. Keeping a 6-6 ½ knot average, we’ve put ourselves on the Iles Marquises chart and have gotten close enough for the GPS to give us an ETA…
