Paw Paw - Log Day 94: "Cooking Up a Storm"



Well, no sooner had the wind eventually turned to a more favourable direction for us to sail closer to our rhumb line, the squalls came up, so down came the "Chicken Chute" and on went the engines.

An hour later it seemed safe enough, so up went the "Chicken Chute".

An hour after that, the wind simply died. So, down came the "Chicken Chute" and on went the engines, again. All this during Elaine's off shift which resulted in very little sleep for her.

By early morning the wind was howling, squalls were everywhere and we were flying along in 25 Kts of wind on headsail alone.

By sunrise - nothing. The engines went back on and have stayed on since.

Needless to say, Elaine slept the day away to catch up on lost sleep while Roy cooked up a few storms in the galley for lunch and for dinner.
