Departed at 10.30 with a sad farewell to El
Salvador. Barillas is a really special peaceful place and the people there could
not have been nicer and more generous. Enrique or deckhand made it after
a 3 day bus ride from Mexico.
Just off the Gulf of Fonseca now, which marks the
border with Honduras, making 5 knots with all sail up. Sea calm and after the
pilot boat guided us out, see below photos through the impresive Lempa shoals,
smooth sailing all day so far.
Fuel pump on the generator decided to start
spraying diesel all over and that will be a project for tomorrow. Always
something !
Headed for a famously beautiful bay called Santa
Elena in Costa Rica, just over the border with Nicaragua. Maybe there Wed all
being well.
Jason just caught a truly huge fish and after an
epic struggle landed it and another for supper tonight.
Weather so far very good.
