Arrival Providencia

We arrived Providencia, a Columbian Island some 125 miles off the Nicaraguan coast, Sunday evening. The three day passage from Jamaica had little wind, so the lack of sail power had the boat rocking in the swells. Only squall we encountered was directly off the anchorage as we were lowering sail. Our global star didn't pick up service from about 80 miles south of Jamaica; no idea why. Montego Bay had their internet down when we were there, so Laurie will update the blogs for Montego and Negril and post later. We have added pictures to the photo gallery, including a few more from Jamaica.
The greeting, and officials and locals in Providencia have been very nice and helpful. Looks like we will enjoy a few days of rest and re-coup here.
