Going for a week now...

Good morning..
here I am, bleary and too hot after the afternoon nap. We are plodding along between 3 & 4kn today, however... boats north and east of us have no wind at all, and boats south have 20-30 and are all complaining that they can't sleep. Many had rain all night. So... we should be pleased that we are moving, it is sunny and calm. Going too slowly for fish, so probably have eggs tonight...
We've been going a week now, and are over quarter the way... fresh vegies are getting fewer, fruit is almost done. There wasn't such good shopping in Galapagos. Ecuador is a bit like Eastern Europe. I looked in all the shops and there was only ever the one brand of chili sauce. Only one type of cheese and so on. Another odd thing, there were endless pharmacies, rows of them. They also sold drinks and ice cream.
Finished my book and don't know what to do now...
