Finally got out of Costa Rica!!
The last few days back on the boat sorting things out before heading off have been so hot. I made the mistake of walking back from Puntarenas (4Km) with loads of shopping in late morning/noon heat. I think that has given me heat stroke, sunburn and dehydration. Felt pretty ill for the last few days, especially after cleaning the bottom of the boat in very murky waters.
I have now done a full 24 hours of what our shifts will be like for the next …. however long its going to take….. and am feeling much more rested, better and hydrated. Just a headache to cope with.
Saw a dead turtle and puffer fish yesterday :(, saw a very large living turtle as well and a few belly flopping rays.
Not much to report on the sailing. The winds have been low and we’re plopping along, no fish as of yet, I think once we pick up speed the lures will start working.
