We had a cracking sail from Bahia Del Sol to
Punta Arenas in Costa Rica 25 knots hard on the wind. This was a typical
Papagayo with the wind blowing straight across Nicaragua from the Bay of
Mexico.Hans and Yvonne were not comfortable and were happy to jump ship on
arrival in Punta Arenas. We checked into Costa Rica and then checked out the
next day. We had a sail boat that lost control in the middle of the night and
crashed into the floating pontoon we and another boat were moored to. Some
repairs were needed to the side of the bow. We left Punta Arenas yacht club on
high tide this afternoon having spent the day hard aground fortunately in soft
mud.It was hot and humid and the aircon broke down as did the generator.Dave
summed Punta Arenas in one word - its a dump!!
