3/4: Arrived yesterday, 3/3, motorsailing easterly 12 mi. from Portobello. Forecast was for NE winds 10-15 kt., NE seas 4'-6'. We actually got NE winds 15-23 kt., seas 5'-8' on a 6-sec. period. Equals, rough water for traveling E like we are. Isla Linton anchorage looks like it might be nice — but it's hard to tell, what with the 49 sailboats crammed in here. Intermittent 3.5G Internet is here tho, so we'll stay 1 more nite in this crowded & somewhat rolly anchorage, looking at the weather, before moving on another 10mi. tomorrow, 3/5, to Green Turtle Bay, at 09deg.36'N/79deg.26.5'W. Forecast still calls for light winds & calm seas but this time of year – the dry season – the NE swells coming from Colombia remain high and choppy, so we're expecting more of the rougher stuff we experienced 3/3. Welcome to the Caribbean, MS.
