Course: 215 at 8.5 knots (Motor sailing)
Wind: 11 knots from 058 Sea Calm

Progress

Bit the bullet, ripped off the band aid, thrown caution to the wind.  We have set off on our voyage to The Marquesas.  Promised 10 knot wind arrived.  Nervous excitement and will soon be time to go fishing as we get out of the marine park.  Land still visible but hazy in distance. 2,905 miles to go!
