Today is Feb 24th. Very hard to believe that we have been in this area for a month but we have! Arrived on Jan 25th so there you go. All in all a wonderful stay, meeting cruisers and locals, having fun adventures. We never did get to Puntarenas. Did get back to Montazuma and saw a second waterfall. We actually walked along the coast all the way, a 4 1/2 hour walk with a short snack break and water play in the small pool beneath the waterfall. The adventure was filled with beautiful sights of tropical GREEN forests on one side and beautiful shades of blue ocean and craggy rocks on the other. Some of the trek involved rock climbing and picking a path back down to the beach. Must say I did much better than I thought possible, enjoyed myself immensely and had minimal pain and agony the next day. Think I'll try doing that type of fun more often. David, our friend on s/v Incantation went along as well. Ever so much fun. Tried to use the internet cafe here in Tambour to upload photos but could not get our wireless card to talk to theirs. Also, our cd drive wasn't functioning but Rich has now solved that - it was a software rather than hardware issue (we hope). So when we get to the next stop I'll upload some photos to past blog postings and to the photo site. There are quite a few stacking up at this point.
Tomorrow we are off after the organic vegi mart at the yacht club. I'll take the camera in and get a few snaps. Once the booty is stored we'll up anchor and cross the Gulf of Nicoya to visit the Marina Suenos fuel dock. Probably spend the night anchored off the marina and head down to Quepos the next morning - only 35 miles south east. Not sure if we'll be able to anchor there or not. If it is not too rolly (an exposed anchorage) it is THE best place to leave the boat for a bus ride into the Manuel Antonio National Park. I would so love to spend the day walking around the jungle and seeing the birds and animals that are protected in this preserve.
So many wonderful sights and friendly people come to my mind in colourful array - Costa Rico is a beautiful place. Looking forward to the next adventure and some fun sailing!
Love to all from the yin side
