\nWe ended up turning much farther south last night than we had wanted to due
\nto wind direction. Then this morning we set up our two headsails which
\nallows us to sail well downwind, but we had to head the wrong direction in
\ngetting everything set up and by the time we were back on track we had gone
\na little farther south than we wanted to – but still on a good track for
\nthe Marquesas. Our position is South 06.05 and West 100.13. Very
\nlight winds and we are having an uncomfortable day – lots of sloshing back
\nand forth in the swell as there is not enough wind to keep both of the
\nheadsails full. We are sad that we are now out of VHF range of our friends
\nIntiaq – so I am sending them this mail as well, hoping they will send
\nme back an e-mail letting us know their position. They are probably
\nenjoying a gourmet dinner right now, while we are eating canned soup, old
\nstir-fried rice and chocolate covered bananas ( all of which were actually
\nquite delicious). Tomorrow I plan to cook a chicken curry- or if we
\nare lucky, some fresh caught fish.
