Leaving Tomorrow

We hope to be heading to the port captains office tomorrow in Neuave Vallarta and then head out to sea Saturday morning. We will head to 5degN 130degW for first waypoint or until we loose the trade winds and then we will head due South to get through the Doldrums as fast as possible(an area known for no wind, fickle winds and squalls and lighing storms) until we pickup the SE trades, cross the Equator and then straight to Fatu Hiva in the Marquesas. Is 3000 miles and expect to be about 1 month getting there.
Not sure if any internet access there may have to get to our next stop Hiva Ova for that.
Got my haircut today, laundry and last minute Veggies. We went out for dinner tonight up stairs in the marina restarant with a super view of the harbor. Can feel dock rot setting in, time to get out to sea before we forget how to sail.
