Tacking and Backing

So some of you might have checked our boats position (link in previous post). We hit the ground but not exactly where we thought it would happen.

Our current location: Buenaventura, Colombia.

We were advancing nicely but too strong winds (25-30 knots) straight in our face made going forward too difficult. Big storm was passing through Galapagos and South America and we couldn’t really sail straight into it.

So long story short – We are waiting for the waves and the wind to die down a little so that we can continue our journey. Small catamarans aparently arent’t really designed to go against big waves. Let’s put it differently – If you had fills in your mouth you wouldn’t have them anymore.

For real, it would be nice to hear from you. I quit using facebook, for now.

I’m off to enjoy city life. Cool place and they have ice cream!
