Hey All,
Lyric of the Day
You take your car to work
I´ll take my board.
And when you´re out of fuel
I´m still afloat.
Weezer, SurfWax USA
Leaving Costa Rica proved easier than expected thanks to running into my good friend, NorCal Landscaper, Tu Laki... the next in my recent string of HETEROSUGARDADDIES.
We surfed Pavones for a few days under the influence of a Japanese Apothecary's Magic Teas and then headed back to Matapalo to sample the goods there as well.
After crossing the border we surfed for a few days in moderate conditions at Santa Catalina (incidentally, the strangest little surf town I've yet to encounter)... before continuing east.
We encountered some of the most miserable current/wind chop of the trip and barely averaged a knot for 12 hours... it was some of the most frustrating sailing of the trip thus far.
Now we're in Panamanian surf paradise Playa Venao enjoying the last of a decent swell before turning North around Punta Mala (BAD POINT) and entering the busiest shipping lanes in the world... all the big boats leaving the Panama Canal have to round the BAD POINT as well... should be an exciting day.
From there we'll be outfitting the boat for a trip into the Darien, and across the Columbian Border... if at all possible we´d like to get our hands on an AK47... travel insurance.
So, that's that...
