It looks like we are going to be all ready to head out tomorrow! I am really excited to get to sea again. I wonder if the Pacific Ocean will be much different from the Atlantic...
It looks like it will be extremely calm for the majority of our trip, and the current is going against us the first few days at least. So we will be motoring quite a bit this trip. The pacific coast of Panama is famous for extremely light winds, and it seems to be living up to its name.
We tested out the water maker today, and it worked great. The product water in the end has an odd bitter taste to it. It's very "dry". Some people fix this by adding a couple glasses of wine to their water tanks, but we don't want to waste any wine.
This is where the adventure really begins. We will be visiting places that so incredibly few get to see in their lifetime after months at sea in all kinds of different weather. I can't even imagine the feeling I will be experiencing at that moment of arrival in the Marquesas after being at sea for so long.
