San Fran to OZ pt1 Marquesas


Small flying fish and squid had to be picked off the deck each morning






Squalls surrounding the boat you never knew which one would move towards the boat


Doldrums (not oil but reflections of the clouds)

Great pics, Simon. And congrats on a successful crossing. What was your sleep schedule like on this cruise?

When I needed sleep, I set the radar alarm. I got good regular sleep except if there was traffic or squalls as these set off the alarm and there was no point sleeping then.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Hi SD. even though on one occasion it ripped a block off the toe rail in a down wind jibe I would recomend one to everyone. Maybe should not be used as a preventer a lighter line would have saved the block and the break would have slowed the boom down.
