WE are in Tamarindo!! Thanks Sarana for the safe way in!!!

After leaving Boca Chica, we took two days and two nights to get to Bahia Ballena. A quick overnight with repairs to our bilge pump and then we sailed to Bahia Samara, a lovely little bay where the Papagayos blew up to 50 knts or better waking us up around 10pm. Now we are in Playa Tamarindo, had a surf landing after getting caught on a rock while in our kayak, whew-- near disaster, but we pulled it off and got to shore dry. Now we are trying to get in touch with our friend Ricardo and it looks like we will be taking a bus to Brasilito tomorrow for a nice visit. Papagayos are blowing here, and we hope to have a two day window to get around Cabo St Elena on Saturday and Sunday. Then we will be in Nicaragua! We hope to make a quick stop in San Juan del Sur area, afterwards its Puesta Del Sol for the Holidays.
