Paw Paw - Log Day 223: Murphy is Having a Giggle



After a reasonably good night Roy decided to tackle the port engine issue again.  Unfortunately after cleaning the heat exchanger, the exhaust elbow, the pipes of the water pump and the filter, it is still running hot. The only two remaining possibilities are a blockage in the intake or the water pump.  Lets hope it's the less expensive one. Either way neither can be investigated until we are at anchor. 

On another note, we've decided that Murphy is definitely having a giggle. Once again a South Pacific passage has no resemblance to what was forecasted. The flat seas we thought we were getting only lasted a day and now we are crawling our way through very lumpy and confused seas, with the swell anything from southwesterly to southerly, the current out of the east and winds out of the southeast. Simply delightful and we still have approx 30 hours to go.

We did, however, enjoy a lovely dinner this evening - Homemade meatloaf, roast po tatoes, fresh carrots and bokchoy - Complements of Chef Roy and we had a passenger along for the ride this afternoon.
