Moving slowly following the coast of Colombia.

The goal at this point -- to reach Cabo De la Vela. According to guide(s) -- it should be an anchorage there. We are planning to have a short stop there and get some rest.

No wind. Nearly completely...Crossing the area which is known for its 'always strong winds in 30 knots range' and having no wind at all is a bit strange. I hope we are in a place we think we are ! At the same time, absence of wind allows to blame slow passage on the wether rather then on mistakes in navigation and handling the boat.

The boat behaves beautifully. We have become a 'bird carrier' today. As another small storm was passing over us again, small birds -- no idea how they are called, sea sparrow (?) -- found shielters all over the boat. And as the night arrived, they are staying with us, about 10.. What those small creatures are doing in the ocean and how they are surviving -- I do not know.
