After being relieved of a months cruising
budget in one day, we have bailed out of Los Suenos luxury, golf, spa 5
star madness. About 70 percent of boats there are worth over
1 million dollars and the marina has a good 170 boats in!
Re fuelled, re watered, bought superb croissants,
coffee, and spent the night at anchor in the bay outside. Before we left, went
shopping at the Deli for some English treats. Colemans mustard $16 for a little
pot, and HP sauce a deal at just $12. Cheers, but we will pass.
The fridge was fixed, but more importantly the
water maker was not, which presents a real problem, as the fresh water tanks are
not huge on the Cat. There is a major parts order needed from the manufacturer
in the USA to fix the problem and we need to think hard about whether to
continue without, as once over the border, there is nothing for 300 miles and
lack of water is not something to risk.
Headed now on 35 mile leg to the town of
Quepos, and stomping along under sail at 7.5 knots for a change.
Will arrive around 2.30pm to anchor and check out
the place. 1855 miles gone.
Still a lot of huge humpback whales, and passed a
45 footer with calf this AM about 50 meters off the bow. Awesome
sight.
