Sailing off the coast of Nicarague

We left Bahia del Sol yesterday morning at 9am, the weather reports indicate a good weather window for the Papagaos winds, so off we go. It was a clear night, no wind to speak of and the seas were fairly flat, we are traveling with "Gosling" and "Risk Taker". We were visited by dolphins who played in our bow wake for about 15-20 mins what a sight. One of our buddy boats caught a fish and there is plenty for all 3 of us....we are looking forward to cooking that up today or tomorrow. The sky was full of stars last night, it was absolutely amazing, now we just need to learn about the constellations. Overnight we passed by a fishing fleet who were about a mile away from us, other than that there was not much traffic. Oh, I cannot forget...we spoke to Pat Rains who wrote the "Rains cruising guides" they were on their way south, it would be great to be able to meet up with them in Costa Rica. At this point the plan is to go into San Juan del Sur at the southern part of Nicaragua but you never know as we are not far from Costa Rica then and the weather is good for the next few days. We had dolphins visit us again this morning,it is nice to be back on the water and moving again.
