papagayo (′pä·pə′gī·yō): A violent, northeasterly fall wind on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua and Guatemala.
Yes, it total kicked our asses. I was really sick and terrified, and Alex tells me it gets a lot worse. Ok, thanks for making me feel like a pansy after waves crashed over the boat and fell into the cabin while the opposite side of the boat had its railing buried nice and deep into the waves. But admittedly he has been through worse, I am hoping however to avoid it.
I will expand on this later, but Alex wants everyone to know that the anchor locker makes a nice bath....
We are in Playa El Coco, in Costa Rica, we will be heading out to Golfito shortly....

Glad you are both OK. I will stick to racing my car around a circuit, much safer by the sound of it.

ReplyDeleteWe have waves that big in Lake Scugog.
My 12 ft yatch handled it very well.
Just another sailing lesson to tuck
under your belt. :+)
