We are in our 3rd day of motoring and the noise of the engine begins to rattle the nerves when below decks.
Yesterday was tremendously exciting, we stopped to refuel in Costa Rica, what a treat. The banana bar was at the end of the jetty. We had a good 2 hrs there. The lads decided to drink rum and coke and beer despite Gareth telling them to take it easy. I had an orange juice and ice cream, saving myself for Jamaica.
We have approx 90 miles to Panama and will arrive in the early hours of the morning. I am on watch anyway, so that's good. We have followed the coastline from Mexico to Panama. Since Costa Rica it has been volcanic rock covered in virgin jungle, quite beautiful.
It is strange and wonderful not being out at sea, to be able to see the ever changing landscape. The ocean is magnificent but to see land again was wonderful.
I am very tired, off to sleep soon, nearly finished 'The Long Walk",
