Today’s News
Shortly after leaving Marina Papagayo we caught our first fish, a Skip Jack tuna. It was quickly returned to the sea and an hour later we got another which we also threw back. Soon after the breeze kicked in and we were sailing at 13 kts and brought the lines in. We passed a lot of large turtles during the afternoon. The wind eased after sunset and we then motor-sailed through the night until now. We are hoping the afternoon breeze will kick in again to allow us to sail. Today we have have had no luck so far with fishing but have been surrounded in seabirds all morning.
So far we have passed Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador.
