Approaching Golfito in southern Costa Rica. Doug and I have been motoring for four days. Mostly no wind, though we had 30+ knots for a while a couple of days ago in the Papagallo. Now cloudy with lots of squalls and lightning. Never seen so much lightning. What’s the highest point around here? Oh, right….
Called “Land & Sea” in Golfito to get a mooring. I was worried about arriving on a holiday (May 1) and being stuck on the boat until immigration and customs were open the next day. So I asked Tim at Land & Sea about whether I could get off anyway. “Yeah, sure, if you keep a low profile in Golfito,” he says. “What’s that mean,” ask, thinking I wouldn’t be able to visit a restaurant or even take a shower. “Don’t start any bar fights and stay away from the hookers,” he says. Golfito sounds promising.
I’ll write more soon.
Fair winds,
David
