Lots of Photos




















Here are some photos from San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua to Bahias Guacalito and Santa Elena in Costa Rica. The green boat is Mandy. The very short-haired people in these photos are the infamous Richard and Virginia, of whom much has been written. Below is an update from Suzi. -K.

We are anchored in Bahia Coco, which you may have visited long ago. It is calm and glassy, and we are checking into Costa Rica with Richard and Virginia today. It may be our last day with them, but hopefully not. They have some good friends arriving tomorrow who are staying here for a week with someone who teaches English here, and I'm sure they will have a much better impression of this town than we do after the week is over. They are also going south, so I imagine we will find each other again; we have had so much fun with them. They are going through the canal, so someday we will truly part, but I look forward to exploring Panama with them.

Reprovisioning today could be quite a challenge with the dinghy on the beach, but I am sure we will figure it all out. We will be going to Bahia Guacamaya tomorrow, just a few miles down, with hopes of snorkling and cleaning Sidewinder's bottom, and then we probably will move down to Bahia Potrero or Bahia Brasilito for the night. Brasilito is also supposed to be really clean, clear water and great snorkling. Tamarindo is next ......YIKES! Not sure I am ready for that beach scene but I am sure I might need a few more supplies before we hook up with Lynnie and Brad. We might catch them there, or make the 60 mile trip south to Bahia Samara and meet them somehow there. Summertime is not a good time to anchor near Playa Guiones, even in Bahia Garza, but if the weather is right, it is a possibility; the swell is another issue to consider. We look forward to the adventure of finding them, and it could be quite interesting. -Suzi
