SOME THOUGHTS AND PICTURES FROM COAST RICA

My plans were to sail the entire pacific coast of Costa Rica down to Golfito; I made it no further than my first port of call from Nicaragua - Coco in the gulf of Papagayo. I had to wait for a few days in Nicaragua before crossing the gulf of Papagayo due to high winds. I still managed to see 35 knots on the way across but Callisto embraced the conditions.

Barbuda, Antigua and the turnaround point

After a week in Antigua and Barbuda we are finally headed North!

Ever since we left New York we’ve been charting a course leading us South East. That is, directly into the wind, which as you know, is the one thing sailboats hate to do. Antigua was at the end of that road for us.

From the BVI to Antigua, our last passage South East

After our previous guests left us we spent a few lazy days in the North… Continue

Michael Boyle commented on CAN DRAC's group Beneteau 40 & 43

"Hi All, french built 2010 43 has been very dry down below but now a slow leak has occurred which is showing at the limber holes under the floor board in forward cabin. Bilge pump goes every 3hrs for 20secs. Not sure if it’s fresh/rain water or…"
