Ship's Log:
Hi Everyone.
Yes we have left Puntarenas. Our anchor finally left the bottom at 1430hrs yesterday and we made our way to Curu wildlife reserve once again. Our thought was that leg three trainees might enjoy seeing the monkeys and other wildlife here, and they did. Trainees spent 4 hrs ashore today hiking and exploring the many trails of Curu. Presently we are anchored at Isla Tortuga, one of our favorite anchorages in Costa Rica. All agreed that one more chance to sleep on deck before leaving would be a good idea.
Tomorrow at first light we jump off from the North American mainland and do not return. Even once we arrive home we arrive home to Vancouver Island. Our plan is to be in Cocos Is. for the 24 and 25th. All our new trainees are doing well and interestingly there is only one that I have not previously sailed with. This leg is like a big SALTS reunion.
