Fun Exploring Northern Costa Rica



Northern Costa Rica is rife with beautiful beaches and incredible scenery. We are traveling with friends Tom and Ann on Leonides so the other people in the pictures are they. The mystery man inside the kayak shell is Ron,. Enjoy!








Onward to Costa Rica

Finally we left Nicaragua to continue our travels south. We never thought it would be hard to leave our summer hideaway, but saying good-bye to our new friends was difficult. We will always have a place in our hearts for the people and friends in Aserradores.
We sailed overnight to Secret Cove, a development in southern Nicaragua and anchored for a couple days. Then across to beautiful Bahia Santa Elena, Costa Rica for 8 days before getting a good weather window to cross the area of Papaguayos to check in at Bahia Cocos. (Heavy easterly winds caused by weather in the Caribbean.) We found friends from the Marina Puesta Del Sol there and enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with them at a local restaurant. Barb and Gary on Hurrah, Jeff and Stephanie from Musetta.
