At 5:30 p.m, Sunday evening, April 3, we were at 05-05S 142-29W, steering 140M at 6.8 kts. We had a mix of seas today, but nothing really adverse. Our projected arrival time at Taiohae, Nuku Hiva is Tuesday morning. Besides checking in, our priority task will be cleaning up salt spray on and in the boat. Constant winds on the port bow and beam has provided a fine spray of salt water. High humidity near the ITCZ added to the salt mist. The exterior has been drenched several times by squalls and washed down with our fresh-water system, but the interior will need a good scrub. All systems are working remarkably well.
