Location: underway
Argo’s crew awoke early with one task in mind: to return her to a seaworthy state. After a week in a marine biologist’s paradise, we were ready to embark on our three-week passage to the Marquesas, one step closer to our final destination. Crew members cleaned the engine room, made sure the galley was 40/40, and returned the deck to the spotless condition they had discovered it in on day 1 in Tortola. We set sail before noon with great confidence in Argo and her ability to transfer us 3,000 nautical miles to French Polynesia.
