Anchored in Fata Hive

We made it. We anchored at 11:30 AM on the 28th day.
so we have:
27 days 3 1/2 hours
3120 miles from Zihuatanejo, Mex to Fata Hiva, Marquesas
120.9 hours on main engine
30 hours on the water maker/generator
500 gallons of water.
2 fish caught, several lost!
and untold hours of sleep lost with us and apparently some of you! Ha!

There is no internet here, so photo uploads are not happening yet.

failures:
2 wind vane steering oars
6 blocks for wind vane
1 rope for wind vane
1 remote control for tiller pilot
1 tiller pilot almost worn out
1 cabin window
1 load of antifreeze when the watermaker overheated due to barnacles growing in the water intake
1 GPS remote antenna
1 Fishing pole holder
10 inches off top of fishing pole
8 lures
1 stanchion base
1 propane valve on grill out back for steaks

I'm sure there was more that broke, but I can't remember now. Maybe some time I'll do a better summary. Off to bed, and some "anchored sleep"!
