Seas Subside as American yacht Enters Atlantic Demerara Abyssal Region
 
As American yacht “Tenacity” continues its  journey across the Atlantic Ocean, from Cape Verde Islands to Antigua in the Lesser Antilles,   the winds that were a solid 15 – 25 knots  since the first day out,   fade to nothing and the  skipper, Robert Holden decides to motor until at least the winds return. The yacht is situated right past the half way point in an area known as the “Demerara Abyssal” to those who  spend enough time looking at  the chart and notice the odd names given to these oceanographic regions, which also include “Research Ridge”,  and “Vema Fracture Zone” (also a good name for a Rock Band)
After 9 days of healthy downwind to broad reach sailing, the crew of Tenacity take to some lounging, sunbathing, sun avoiding, napping, eating and basically enjoying a little break from the frolicking rock and roll motion that has not stopped since the first moment they left Cape Verde. But in spite of the pleasant moment, the crew also hopes the winds return, so they can once again return to sailing, and therefore saving fuel.
Besides considering fuel, Tenacity’s crew has started some serious rationing of certain ship’s items such as onions, (only 7 left) Coca Colas deem “Medicinal Use Only), water (always frugal here) and Time spent opening the refrigerator.   Still, this boat is considered a “Good Fooder” and crew members First Mate Cindy Fletcher  “Extreme Cook”  Holden, and Most Wonderful Crew Member Karen “Lunch Meister” Lorenz, will continue to create and expand the possibilities of ocean cuisine.
