Paw Paw - Log Day 55: Finding Wind



Well, we found some wind. From dawn until 1400 we were able to sail, but since then it has been a combination of motor sailing and plain old motoring.



This afternoon we had another analyses session using every weather forecasts from every source we could get our hands on and it seems the "bubble" or "hole" of little to no wind is following us - Surprise, surprise! We remain hopeful though of picking up wind within the next 24 hours as we head SW where the SE trades are forecasted to be more stable.



Keeping an eye on our fuel consumption indicates that we have used 12% of our fuel to complete 10% of our passage. Not too bad, but we'd much prefer wind please.



Putting all these statistics aside, nothing compares to the brightness of the stars on this moonless night. They seem so close that one feels one can reach up to them. I guess some might say we're nuts to be leading the life that we are right now - granted it's not an easy feat and, if it were, everyone would be doing it - but the rewards are truly beyond what you can imagine in your wildest dreams!
