Boco De Torro

The 100 odd mile sail ended up taking us 2 while days, can you beileve that...it was a complete diaster..we had two - two and a half knots of current the whole journey and there were head winds all the way. We were maiking about 3 knots and nailing it flat out under engine.At one stage in the night we went down to 1.7 knots...it was so painfully slow. Of course the winds were not forecast and current this strong was never mentioned in any pilot guide.

A little bird that flew out to Quartermoon and slept on the bbq all night long until sun rise.



We finally arrived and Boco which was definately a cool place but very touristy. There were lots of restarants and bars all on the sea front. We docked up in the marina for the first time in since europe which felt so weird being tied to a pontoon after being at anchor for so long.

We had some good nights out and were gutted when we had to leave because it would of been nice to spent a few weeks there and go round some of the anchorages. Alan and his business partner came and viewed her and speant all bloody weekend on the boat.They were going to buy her for chartering out of their hotel that was being built in Costa Rica. We took them out for a sea trail and it all went well, but i had a really gut feeling about them that they were messing us around. They said they would get back to us to let us know, so we sailed back to Shelter Bay Marina a tadge gutted to do some maintenace and take her out the water....we decided it was time to re spray her as the hull and get her looking tip top
