At high tide on the morning of 12/29, we departed El Salvador for a 260-mile, 50-hour run, sailing offshore along the Honduras and Nicaragua coastlines, arriving to Marina Papagayo in Costa Rica at noon on New Year's Eve. Arriving to Costa Rica required another paper shuffling session with customs and immigration. Since neither of these offices was within walking distance of our marina, and given that we were up against the January 1 holiday, we hired Jose as an agent to assist the process. Jose said he would meet us at our boat slip sometime after noon on 12/31. At 2:30, a very friendly and enthusiastic Jose walked up to Traveler, introduced himself and said, "Welcome to Costa Rica!"
Did you ever get the coffee!?
So glad you will have Lisa for the Panama Canal ❤️
