Paw Paw - Log Day 36: Happy Valentine Day



Elaine awoke this morning after her early morning watch to a delicious cooked breakfast with freshly baked soda bread, all prepared by Roy - a lovely surprise!

I guess if someone had told us 35 years ago, when we celebrated our first Valentine's Day together, that we'd be out in the middle of an ocean, on a yacht, celebrating this Valentine's Day together, we would definitely have considered the idea romantic, but ludicrous! Elaine remembers the card and beautiful bouquet of roses she received from Roy that day like it was yesterday. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

As for being on a yacht, we had a good sailing day in 18 to 22 Kts of wind in very lumpy seas with swells around 8ft, but we made great progress towards Galapagos with our top speed reaching 13Kts. This evening things slowed down, but unfortunately came to a standstill about half an hiur ago, so we're having to motor. Hopefully the wind will pick up again as it did l ast night.
