Eighteenth day out -Here we go again

A pretty uneventful day especially for what we’ve had over the past couple of days. 

The winds petered out about 3 amand we ended up motoring until noon. I am still running on the main tanks with 170 L in jerry cans we can top up if need be. I figure we will run as low as possible on the main tanks (without running out which is my typical style) and then put all the jerry cans in during a single fill. If the wind is low enough that we need to motor that much I figure the seas will be calm enough to allow us to do that without much hassle. 

Otherwise the routine drags on and we’re starting to dig through our dry food supplies. The provisioning went pretty well with the veg lasting a long time although we are all but out now with only some potatoes, onions and carrots left. 

I had decided to make a big breakfast this morning, the first of the trip, and made hash browns and scrambled eggs with onion and salami. Although this is a pretty basic breakfast it was a big process especially on a rolling boat in the middle of the pacific while motor sailing. I made out ok, after spilling half a pot of potatoes on the floor, but by the time I was down it looked as if a bomb had gone off in the galley. I sure am glad the cook doesn’t clean up :s

We also did a double up shift from noon to 3pm to allow us to move the clocks forward to Honolulu time. It gave us an extra 20 miles for the day (not shown below in the daily total) which we will be glad to have on the other end.
