Took us 39 hours to reach Playa de Coco - 10 hours sailing & 29 hours motoring - what a bugger! There was just no wind. Arrived into Coco about 11pm Monday night tired & ready for a big sleep.
Yesterday we caught up with Marc & Isobelle on their yacht SPIRIT OF THE OCEAN. We met them in Isla Linton in Panama early in November. They have been in Costa Rica for 5 years running a charter business with their yacht. They kindly took us on a road trip in their old kombi to a beautiful water fall for a swim & to a monkey refuge where injured & young monkeys are rehabilitated, then set free. We finished the day with a great dinner at 'Father Rooster.' Playa de Coco is a really cool place - lots of tourists, but very laid back.
Today we are trying to get a look at the top rudder bearing which was making a clunking sound as we sailed here on Monday night. Without the correct tools we are having a hard time getting it out & frustration is high! If it needs replacing it will delay our departure for El Salvador....
