14 April

Today's installments from Callisto:

Had another good run yesterday of 180 miles with winds a steady Force 5 all day. Seems to be getting lighter again this morning and we may have to make another change in sail plan. Crew all well and still no fish. We sighted another boat for the first time in 11 days. A motorboat of 40 meters going to Galapagos.
Current position is 7 06.5S, 125 31.5W. Course is 251M, speed 7.3 kts. We have 870 miles to go. ETA now April 18

Current position at 0530H on April 14 is 7 26.2 S, 128 15W We had a good day yesterday will winds in the Force 4-5 range and made progress under spinnaker, main and mizzen. The wind has been less over night and we have been using the double head sail rig. Still no fish despite switching out lures, we can't even catch a cold.
Current speed is 7.0 kts course 258M and we have 710 Nm to go and should be in to the Marquesas this week end. Crew are all well
