Passage to Costa Rica, 3/13, detouring

12 37.525 N, 87 20.519 W

Puesta del Sol marina, Nicaragua

We are still here at Puesta del Sol. If you are interested in the marina, take a look at their website
 
This morning the officials came down and checked in a power boat that just arrived from Costa Rica, bound for San Francisco. We checked out along with a catamaran that arrived yesterday from Panama, also bound for San Francisco. I guess everyone is going to see the America's Cup races there, as that was were Lady Lola was headed as well.
 
We fueled up for $1.00 USD a liter. So our tanks and jerry cans are topped off. The water on the dock is potable so our water tanks are full as well. The port tank has been strictly watermaker water for the last few weeks.
 
The plan is to leave early tomorrow morning and head to Bahia Santa Elena, Costa Rica, staying fairly close to the beach to avoid the choppy seas when the papagayos blow. Or at least, that is the theory so far. Weather conditions may change and may affect our plans.
 
Rich said he would take me out for my birthday. This is not what I had planned. I guess we will just have to celebrate in more style when we are in Costa Rica.
 
Adios
