Monday, Sound Effect, raised anchor and motor sailed 8 miles against the prevailing tidal current to a new anchorage at Isla Muertes. We made water on the way and of course charged the batteries. Anchor down about 3pm with the first beautiful star filled sky at night that we have seen in months. Grey overcast is the order of day most days as we are in the rainy season.
We will continue to move every day for the rest of the week hoping to be in Golfito by the end of the week. Golfito is the last port in Costa Rica before leaving for Panama.
Yesterday I tried to swim over to Kokomo after anchoring in Isla Muertes but the jelly fish stings drove me back to our boat. Needless to say no one else went swimming and everyone else was sympathetic but secretly glad I was the first and only one in the water. I soaked in vinegar solution for about 30 minutes and the stings were at least tolerable by that time.
