3/9: This morning at 0700 we saw calm seas and light breeze in Portobello Bay, despite the forecast for area winds getting into the high teens/low 20s – which for exiting Portobello and heading north and then east means steep, choppy seas and not much fun. So, we took advantage of the flattitude and promptly fired up the trusty Yanmar which works ever-so-much-better now that GB replaced the impeller; and we motorsailed once again the 12 miles to the crowded anchorage at Isla Linton. We have 56 boats here — and all but one of them is a sailboat. Awesome. There is intermittent 3.5G Internet access here (thanks, Claro modem!) so we'll be carefully watching the online weather to see if we can head the remaining 35 miles tomorrow into Porvenir and the San Blas archipelago. Time's a-wastin'.
Meanwhile, here's what sunset looks like at Isla Linton, when rays shine out from behind evening clouds:
