After a few days of the abnormal now we have what we expected. SE trade winds, a few fluffy clouds and some favourable current. ETA at this speed is Friday morning. We can enter the anchorage at night but may slow a little to enter just as it gets light. Marquesas are 9:30 hours behind GMT. Kirsty has been able to change her flight to Tahiti so we now have a few days to explore the Marquesas Islands but a few days chilling out first!
