10 24.180 N, 85 48.777 W, Playa Conchal
Our friends, Reg and Phoebe, of SV Three Sheets, arrived late Saturday night. We were anchored at Playa Panama and we turned on our strobe light to help guide them into the anchorage, just like some good friends of ours did for us when we arrived at Nuka Hiva in the wee hours of the morning. They had sailed nonstop from Chiapis, Mexico to Costa Rica and we were glad to see them.
After a few days for Three Sheets to check in, provision, fuel up, put on water, plus some time for Cervesas and great conversation, we decided it was time to head south and see some more of Costa Rica.
This morning Reg, Phoebe and I walked the beach at Bahia Huevos. we saw many hermit crabs skittering across the sand. several looked like they could use a much larger shell. The beach was pleasant and we had it to ourselves. Last night we heard the howler monkeys but no sign of them this morning.
Despite some weird wind patterns, not predicted in the gribs, we sailed to Playa Conchal, our first stop on the way to Puntarenas. Three Sheets is anchored not too far from us but we decided to pass on happy hour due to the sea conditions.
Tomorrow we will head to Playa Samara. It is about 50 nautical miles so we hope to leave around 7:00 am so that we arrive before dark.
No worries,
Elaine and Rich
