I really enjoyed the race down from San Francisco,
but we are now motoring to keep to our schedule and allotted time when we transit through
the Panama Canal. The calm weather and the fact we are motoring means we have
been able to get on with some maintenance
chores and deep cleaning. The other day I spent a few hours polishing the mast (which is now sparkling) and carried
out some minor repairs to the sails. Having now finished all the jobs this
means we have got some more time to relax and when
we get to Panama we can enjoy the
transit without having to do anymore cleaning!
We are currently motoring with Invest Africa
who we had to tow for a day, due to them running low on fuel.
The two boats then had a 'Pub Quiz' over the VHF Radio and I was the communicator; at first I was
terrible over the radio, but after a while I got
used to it!
Yesterday was Skipper Matt's Birthday, we had
all written cards and Orla made cupcakes for everyone, also
the crew of Invest Africa made super
cake for him! Then later on we called
into Costa Rica a fuel pit stop. Now it's full speed ahead and
we hope to arrive into Panama on
Sunday lunchtime!
