Bye Bye Golfito!!!

These last couple of days we have been finishing up our chore list of things needing to be done to leave.  Yesterday I spent the day getting a few more odds and ends at the market and cooking 4 different meals for the passage.  I made my mom's great stroganoff, chili, spagettie and chicken curry.
If the seas are rough at least we will eat good!!!
This morning we motored over to the fuel dock to load up with 300 gallons of diesel and 5 gallons of dinghy motor gas.  After having our last lunch at "Buenas Dias" restuarant and paying our 2 month tab with Tim from "Land and Sea", we are back securing the boat for our departure around 12am tonight.  Since the boat has been on the mooring ball for 2 months things get taken out of their place, and now we need to try to get them all back so they don't go flying around.  Sounds like an easy task but trust me it is not, so we just do it and hope for the best.  The rain we are having this afternoon is not helping the mater on deck.
Now those are some true fishermen!!!
We are also saying goodbye to our friends Sam and Nancy on SV Windfall, unfortuently they are not back from Oregon, but we have been traveling with them for the last 4 months, and they will be missed.  But we are ready to get on the move again, so we say "Goodbye Costa Rica" "Hello El Salvador". The seas look like they won't be to bad, but I am sure we will get some rain squalls hopefully not the whole time.
