Paw Paw - Log Day 57: "Be Careful What You Wish For"



Stable trade winds at last. We haven't had the engines on in nearly 24 hours. Thank goodness, but be careful what you wish for. Unfortunately with the steadier, stronger winds come the squalls and lumpy seas. Fortunately the squalls are light and more like isolated showers, so Paw Paw gets a fresh water wash down every few hours. We're hoping the seas settle down as we head further west, particularly the swell, which we have more or less on the beam at times and makes for a rather uncomfortable ride.

Apart from that, we've settled in to our watch schedule and associated sleeping patterns as well as finding the time to read and bake.

It's fair to say, that if anyone had told us 27 years ago, on the day our wonderful son was born, that we would be in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in the midst of a circumnavigation, instead of celebrating his birthday with him, we would have said they were smoking something. But, alas, we are and want to wish Keenan a very Happy Birthday for tomorrow. We are both so proud of the man you have grown into and the loving father and husband-to-be that you are.
