Light winds and slow progress

Cruising with Papillon
15.00 Local 18 April
Course: 240°
Distance covered last 24hrs until 01h00 UTC: 109 nm
Distance to Galapagos: 279nm
Position 01°28 N 086°16 W
Not much happening out here. We spent a lot of time motoring and the wind is still very light. Looks as if we could get in to Galapagos on Wednesday.... hopefully it will not be too late as then we will have to hove too for the night. A little more wind would help... it is light and from the south so we are sailing very close to the wind and the swells roll the boat causing the sails to flap about. Last night we took all the sails down and motored all night till we got some wind at 4am. Otherwise all is going well.
