Hey All,
We made it to Tamarindo, Costa Rica after demolishing coconuts... playing Scrabble... polishing off a handle of RUM at some secluded beach en route.
We also surfed crowded Playa Grande in good conditions.

Unfortunately, we lost one crewmember to a combination of Swine Flu/Ebola/Dengue Fever... Snootch had to return to the Oosa... he is sorely missed by all but, hey, health is health.
The rest of us have developed Pirate-Like Immune Systems.
I was here 5 years ago, visiting the brother of a then girlfriend. He was selling real estate here and apparently still is. I have to find him to thank him; an old pink Mamut climbing rope he gifted me at a drunken Christmas long ago serves as lifelines and fulfills assorted other tasks aboard SIN FIN. That rope saved my life thrice on this trip... I owe him a beer... at least.
Also, I'm pretty sure he has air conditioning.

The plan is to surf here for a few days... 5 foot, 4 star swell is on the forecast.
The crew is excited for a little "shore leave" as well... as is the dog. Me? I hate leaving the water.

My beer is empty... gotta go fix that... and move the dinghy anchor before the tide drops and puts her in the break.
Live it up.
