Paw Paw - Log Day 50 & 51: Enjoying the Last of " Terra Firme"



We've had a busy few days in preparation for the Wednesday start of Leg 4 to Hiva Oa, Marquesas - the longest passage of the circumnavigation - 3000NM. Activities have included laundry, topping up on provisioning, topping up on diesel, making water so we have full tanks, checking every inch of Paw Paw to make sure all the rigging is sound and in good working order, finishing off some last minute maintenance jobs, etc

It hasn't been "all work and no play" though. We enjoyed a get-together arranged by Mary Beth from Paradise Found yesterday evening followed by dinner with Steve and Linda from Nina and their new crew members, Karen and Peter. Tonight was the Skippers Briefing followed by an informal prize-giving and then dinner - a delicious three course meal served at one of the local restaurants, Il Giardino.

Tomorrow we'll finalise our passage plan based on the latest weather forecasts, take a last minute trip to the fresh produce market, finish uploading all our photos of our stay here in the glorious Galapagos islands and enjoy the last of "terra firme".
