Spent the whole afternoon with absolutely NO wind. Just bobbing around. Spoke to the weather guru on the radio who thought I’d see more of the same for weeks. He predicted four more weeks to get the last 1,200 miles to Panama.
I give up. Time for a new plan. I turned on the engine and pointed the boat toward Huatulco, Mexico. That’s 340 miles from here, toward the Northeast. Partly the wrong direction, in other words. The new plan is to motor there and then sail/motor along the coasts of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama, picking up fuel along the way as needed.
So off we go, motor thundering, back to Mexico….
More later,
David
