Finally sighted land! Isla de la Palata a small island off the coast of Ecuador.  I was on deck cleaning some of the rust stains (it's amazing what 10 days of saltwater over the decks will do to a boat - the amusing thing was that rust stains on my windward side ran up the deck (against the camber) a feature of having been pointing to wind for the last 900 miles ish!)

There is next to no wind and the sea state is quite flat - so it's a pleasure being able to easily move about below!

It's going to be touch and go wether I make my destination by nightfall - I'm optimistic that I'll have enough light to anchor by else I shall just wait offshore for the night.
