Where's the Wind?

14 April 2008 | Bahia Ballena, Costa Rica
Amy/ Hot 96d & Humid
We are at an internet cafe upstairs of this REALLY CUTE gift shop in Tambor village. The kids are with us and getting really antsy, so I'm not going to take alot of time. Just wanted to post our latest location. In a few days, we'll be at a place where there's WI-FI and we'll be there for a few days. Planning on then, having more time to post pictures and other updates that I have written on the computer, just waiting to be pasted on to the Sailblogs.
As for our recent travels, the wind is either non-existent, or on the nose, which makes for some really slow going. But we're sailing when we can. We've linked up with a few other boats- get this- we have this "Retro- Cosmic" thing going- the names of these other boats- Agape, Harmony, Blew Moon, Dream Weaver, and of course, Sunshine. Us and Blew Moon, traveled on the same day from Bahia Carrillo, the anchorage previous to here, and our current location.
More howler monkeys on shore around here, they are really loud!
