Benao, Panama - 2.-4.1.2013
7:25.663N
80:11.449W 2.-4.1.2013 Benao,
Panama At Had left Jicaron at night of February 1st
and had
a bit of a crazy and wild sail, with gusts up to 38 knots and a
pretty dark
night. On top of all, the drum of the roller furling of
the Genny broke
and we had too much sail out. So we had to run with the wind, directly South,
off our course,
and Michael managed to roll in the Genoa with the hand.
Wind around Punta Mala all the way up to Panama
City or Las
Perlas looked pretty bad for the next days, so decided to go
only the 25nm up
to Benao. Which turned out as a lovely anchorage for a
night. Now, wind looks better and will set sail and
hopefully arrive
tomorrow evening still with last daylight somewhere at the Las
Perlas – 100nm
to go!
