Sailing Across the Pacific Ocean (Part 8) - Panama to Galapagos

We finally were able to fuel up, fill our water tanks, and head out at around 1500 hours.

The ocean is as calm as i have ever seen it. It feels like we are sailing on a small lake. The area of the Pacific Ocean right around Panama is famous for being calm, but this is just ridiculous.

We spotted a whale in the distance as we were leaving Panama today. We saw its water spout spray a few times and some fins coming out of the water. It was far too distant to get a picture though.

We are back on the same watch schedule as before, I am on from 3:00-6:00, both AM and PM.
