Paw Paw - Log Day 65: More "Chicken" in the "Chicken Shoot"



Well, we never got to fly the "Chicken Shoot" today after all, since the wind increased and changed direction slightly. Tonight, however, we're having to sail on our headsail alone which definitely makes flying the "Chicken Shoot" more viable now for daytime sailing.



We haven't quite decided though whether or not we're simply procrastinating because we're chicken, given the fact that flying these oversized sails are a challenge for short-handed crew. So, we've decided to play it safe. Tomorrow we'll take our sock off the gennaker and put it on the spinnaker. That way we'll have more control when raising and dousing it.



Well, that's our story and we're sticking with it, but we're definitely running out of excuses!
