No sooner have we found some wind we are told to take the sails down by the Columbian Navy so that they can board us. Routine they said which is ok but at 10.00 PM in total darkness from an unlit boat containing heavily armed men.....not a pleasant experience. Jo didnt stop shaking for sometime after they left.....well you hear so many stories about piracy from unlit fishing boats and our imagination was running wild until we were certain they were who they said they were and they had good intentions. Anyway, no harm done and another wierd experience chalked up.
