Yay! We finally got some wind today and were able to put up the genoa. We've been running the engine since we left Fatu Hiva. We were getting over 20 knots of wind, so we made some good speed today.
Unfortunately, we lost our fridge/freezer today. We are not sure what is wrong with it, but it seems like we will need a whole new fridge replacement. Luckily, we have eaten all our food and have nothing that needs to be kept cold anymore (except our drinking water, that will be warm for the rest of the trip...)
We opened all the hatches in the evening and slept in the cockpit for the first part of the night as we determined the fridge leaked all its freon, which can suffocate you.
Food supplies are running dangerously low, but we are just 2 days from Tahiti, where they have a huge two-story mega market just full of food. We haven't seen something like that since Panama.
