COMMENT: Beach House – En Route – Isla Providencia, Columbia
We had our first sail of the season today which lasted about 8 hours and are just entering the large shallow bank off the NE corner of Honduras which extends down to Nicaragua.
It\’s a bit intimidating to see \”shallow water\” on the depth sounder in the middle of the pitch black night.
As the charts are good, we\’ll be at our first waypoint, Cayo Vivarillos just after first light. If all is well, we\’ll
proceed for another 30 hours or so to Isla Providencia. The trip has been good so far and hopefully we\’ll be completely around
Punta Gracias Adios (Thank God Point) by late tomorrow afternoon.
Motoring at Midnight…
KIT,
Scott and Nikki
