The morning greets us again … the weather is warmer, and the winds remain favorable. “Vina del Mar” is far behind by a few miles … so we hope; she is too far to tell if it is her or some other boat.
It is a great day, great wind, great sailing, and great progress.
We have no idea where all the boats are, but know they are spread miles and miles apart …. Tomorrow will be the day we all converge back into one narrow track as we try and finish this part of the race.
here a peak of our cruising speed ...

In addition the clouds have given way, and opened up to show us what hides behind them … a galaxy of stars so large in numbers that counting them becomes fruitless. The Milky Way, as seen from the Equator, and while listening to the wind grace our sails and the water splash against the hull is truly an incredible show I hope will never end; sounds and sights no man will ever be able to record or reproduce and best imagined and remembered.
