| Extra: | This blog will temporarily pick up from where the www.grenander.com blog left off after our Retina Mac suffered a memory failure. Don't ask where the "p" in exploration went but do tell me how to put it back in, if you know :-) |

Still windy and we are staying, plus thanks to Dan
It has been a hectic few weeks. We had the issue with the exoneration paperwork and the National Car Reantal overcharge and then need for a survey for new insurance.

Varnish and condo time !
The cabin sole has been beginning to show some real wear and the companionway door was looking like it should have used a lot more sun screen, so it was time to get ready to varnish.

Mess -> hotel stay
Now that we know we are going to stay here in Papagayo Marina for the summer we went to work on some chores.

We got the exoneration paperwork !
Yes, it is April Fools' Day, but we don't think it is a joke.

No bad faith contract needed ?
We finally got our misappropriated Marina Papagayo National Car Rental refund. That only took almost a month and a lot of reminders and an angry complaint letter. Talk about substandard service !

Cultural whiplash
This is another surprising turn of events. We're almost getting whiplash !
We got the Zarpe !
The plot below [which you can't see until I figure out how to get images into sailblogs using the iPad] is from NavX with an optimized sail route planned by Weather4D Pro which uses weather information and boat performance to lay out the optimal path based of a bunch of variables you define. It predicts that our strongest gusts will be 29 knots at about Tuesday midnight and that we will get to our destination in about 24 hours. Now we'll see how good the weather forecast is and how close the predict is if we sail as plotted.
We'll actually stay 3+ NM off shore to keep the fetch down but the program only allows 1, 2, 5 and larger increments so the predict is based on 2 NM.
This time we will have company by another boat much of the way. He came in last night and decided to head back out with us for some company.
