Glerk, not even fully reached BxWx's 3metre 8-second seas and we're getting pushed about somewhat sickily in 2-3m seas from SE, urgh .... and there'd be at least 10 days of this, or actually, a bit worse than this when it's 3m instead of under 3metres like now. Which might be fine (or less nasty) in wave-slicey mono with lovely lump of lead ballast to squish it half-down into the waves, but less fine in wave-bouncing upwind-unfriendly-but-downwind-swooshing catameringue ... so we'll completely change the plan and go to Marquesas after all. Wind instantly moves to 120 apparent hehe. Just like the Solent, really "um, i think we'll go to Yarmouth instead of Bembridge in this easterly..." cept on a slightly bigger scale. Anyway, who wants to see a load of boring pointless statues like on Easter Island, eh? Marquesas mmm, all nice French influence, it's bound to be fab.
Unfortunately, the Zarpe/exit visa from Galapagos says "Easter Island" as next destination, which means that we'll arrive in Marquesas with not-quite-perfect paperwork, which isn't my normal style at all, ahem...
