Gulf of Papagayo

We made it. This is one of the feared gap wind, wild and crazy places to watch out for. Last night at sunset we got just enough wind to put out the jib. Hugging the shore, the choppy seas really flattened out. By first light Eric headed out into the gulf to start the crossing. The Gulf of Papagayo is the border between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. A 10 mile strip of land separates Lake Nicaragua from the ocean and the Continental Divide has a low spot here. This allows the wind in the Caribbean to shoot over the isthmus picking up speed and creating nasty conditions in the Pacific. Eric observed a trend where the wind would blow over 20kts at night and 15 during the day. We were busy all day today with gusty winds. In the morning the wind would go from 5kts (roll the flapping jib in and use the engines to keep us moving along) to 12kts (turning off the engine and letting the jib out) to 22kts (rolling the jib in half way and hold on tight) every half hour or so.

By afternoon we were crossing the second half of the gulf and the wind was steady 15 – 20 with gusts over 20. We still did a fair amount of jib reefing in and out, but Makai had a great time sailing. We saw many turtles on the surface with a bird sitting on their backs. A few rays with their wings sticking up out of the water. And of course, dolphins. Now we’re back to hugging the coast. There is still a fair amount of wind coming behind us, but the seas are low and everything is manageable for a quiet night. I defrosted the freezer and took stuff out to cook tomorrow. We didn’t eat much more than cheese and crackers or cereal today, everyone will be hungry tomorrow. We have 400 miles to Chiapas, Mexico, maybe we’ll arrive on Sunday.
