Melissa & Dave - Adventures at Sea

Great Day for a Sail

Today we left the “swimming pool” and headed back to Isla Porvenir because Mike and Holly have a flight out tomorrow back to Panama City.  The trip was about 4 hours and was some of the best sailing we’ve had.  It was calm seas but the wind was blowing 15 to 20 knots on our beam, so we were on a reach, engine off sailing along at 6.5 to 7 knots.  Dave was a happy captain.  And there wasn’t even a small screech from the squeal-o-meter despite the boat leaning over.  Well, in nice calm seas nothing is flying around the cabin!  Because Holly and Mike are leaving tomorrow we had goodbye drinks on Neko.  It was hugs and tears all around as we don’t know when we will see them again.  We’ve been together for 7 months virtually every day – ever since El Salvador.  Maybe we need to put together an inland car trip in Panama before everyone scatters?
