Paw Paw - Log Day 99: Reflecting on Two Years as Full-Time Cruisers



Since today was a rather blustery day weather-wise and being a Sunday, we decided to have a lazy day onboard. As things transpired though, it ended up a rather productive day and a day to reflect on two years as full-time cruisers.



Since moving on to Paw Paw two years ago and sailing out of Oyster Pond, St Martin, we have sailed 8056NM, 5540NM of which have been since leaving Rodney Bay, St Lucia on 9th January this year with the World ARC. During that time we have had the good fortune of visiting / living in countless countries, had fabulous experiences and met wonderful people. Whatever the future holds, we have fond memories to treasure for a lifetime!



Back to the present, we started the day with a delicious cooked breakfast, thanks to all the fresh produce we managed to buy yesterday. That was followed by a chat to the folks back in Ireland. A lovely start to another day in paradise.



Roy managed to get some odd jobs done around Paw Paw. More importantly though, he also found the source of the problem with our generator and fixed it. A major worry out of the way!



Elaine eventually had the time to crack out her saxophone again. After giving it a service, she was very pleased to realise she didn't have to start all over again, as much of what she had learnt previously came flooding back. With a firm schedule and a goal to be able to play Auld Lang Syne by New Year, she was refocused. Time will tell, no doubt!
