3/1: anchored in Portobelo 5 days. Toured town & 2 of the17th-cen. Spanish forts.
Also saw the famous Black Jesus of Nazareth upon marble side altar in town church. Sculpture is well dressed w/ very disturbing eyes.
Weather: reinforced trades = E winds 15-24kt. w/ occas. lt. rain showers but bay has only low chop so is comfortable. KISS wind generator supplying all our energy needs & then some. Vessels offshore report high, rolly seas so we work on small projects & wait for waves to settle down to sail to next anchorage, Isla Linton, at 09deg.36'N/79deg.35'W. Maybe set sail there tomorrow p.m., 3/2.
