Hello El Salvador, again!!

Three fishing boats off the shore of Nicaragua

We released the mooring lines around 12am on Friday the 19th to head out of Golfito toward El Salvador.  We had a really good trip over all, the first day and night were pretty high seas and some rain and lightening.  It was not the roughest we have been in by any means, but it was still uncomfortable.  Then the second, third and fourth days were great with some long period swells and 10 knots of wind where we were able to pull back on the throttle and motorsail part way.  We saw a few fishing boats, dolphins, turtles and birds, but other than that the ocean was all ours.  We had our fishing poles out pretty much the whole time and not a thing, we hooked one Skipjack tuna, but we released it.
 


On the last night around 12am we were about 15 miles from Bahia Del Sol we had some really good lightening surrounding us, for me it was a little spooky, but Jerry confirmed that it was far enough away.  We slowly motored to the waiting point outside the bar enterance to wait till 9am high tide for Bill and the pilot jet ski to show us in. We had a great bar crossing, with two good waves to give us a good push, Jerry even said he saw 10 knots on the speed indicator (unfortuently I was not able to get a picture of it.)  Bill got a good picture of us crossing the bar, but I have not got it from him yet.
