We anchored yesterday afternoon - the wind died down to about eight knots, and after we rounded the corner of Nicaragua, it was dead astern, so our speed dropped down to about 5 knots. Finally took the main down so that the genoa could get some air and do SOMETHING besides flap around. I guess technically we should have put a spinnaker up, but that seemed like a lot of work. A 35 foot aluminum sloop that we passed last night under sail, past us again this morning - but they were motoring. Good old japanese wind!

Anyway, this is our last stop in Colombia - we cleared out of the country in Providencia, since that is the last inhabited (except for marine bases) island going north. Vivarillos is one larger cay, about an acre, and several small sand spits on a reef about two miles long. We first tried to anchor behind the bigger cay, out of the wind, but what looked like a grass bottom was rock, so we moved up further north behind the reef and found a big patch of sand. Much better. Two other boats here, one the aluminum one we saw on the way, and then another came in this morning. Since everyone stayed up all night to sail here, everyone is slothing on the boats, napping, including us.

We will most likely leave in the morning for Guanaja, Honduras - 150 miles more or less, so another overnight.
