Playa de Coco, Costa Rica 3/17

10 33.638 N, 85 41.726 W

Happy St Patrick's Day!

This morning is was calm and peaceful in the anchorage and we took that as a good sign as we have been having the occasional gusts up to 30 knots. We weighed anchor at 9 am and headed out. The winds piped up to 15-20 knots but it was on the starboard aft quarter and not uncomfortable. After we rounded the cape, the winds decreased to 4-8 knots.until we reached the anchorage and then they increased to 10-13 knots. Go figure.

Along the way we saw lots of turtles. Most had a bird riding on their back. I tried to take a picture but the bird would fly away just as I was ready. We also saw bat rays jumping out of the water and briefly flying.

We are at Playa de Coco and we will check into the country tomorrow.
