(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home3/aboarddi/public_html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114The motor up to Quepos was uneventful. We caught a fish along the way but that’s hardly news these days. We are, however, looking forward to Ben’s visit in two weeks as a couple of the items he is bringing are books to help us identify the fish we’re catching and which ones are good to eat.<\/p>\n
Hoping to find an anchorage sheltered from the swells we were soon disappointed. There was one other boat here. We were soon greeted by the owner, Mike, who was on his way to pick up his wife and guest from the shore. Turned out he had been close to a lightening strike a few days earlier and was now immobilized due to his engine electronics being fried. When he returned with Anne, his wife, and Joanne, their friend, we invited them aboard to learn more about the area. Before we left for town we agreed to meet later in the day for tea and to have a look at his GPS which was also causing problems.<\/p>\n
In town John booked his following day bus to San Jose so he could pick up Ella, his girlfriend. We ate lunch and bought a few bits and pieces in a supermarket before leaving John ashore so he could explore.<\/p>\n
Helen and I went back to the boat through the increasing chop. Later I picked up John before Helen and I went over to Callisto for afternoon tea. I was able to help Mike out diagnosing which specific piece of equipment had developed a fault as a result of the lightening strike.<\/p>\n
Today John has left on the bus. Helen is cleaning the boat and I am wrestling with the internet. I’ve given up trying to do anything productive from the boat and am now sitting in a cafe in Quepos to get things done. I’ve managed to upload pics since Golfito. Enjoy.<\/p>\n
