Underway – Destination Guanaja, Honduras

We left Isla Linton in Panama on Thursday, March 3rd headed for Providencia and Honduras. It is now Saturday afternoon and we've been sailing non-stop since the engine went off at 0843 Thursday morning. Its been slow but we're trying to save fossil fuel (also boat dollars) and trying to get used to longer passages. That's something we haven't done much lately. The seas started out quite large but as the days have passed, the winds have lightened and the seas have flattened. That's good for comfort but not speed. So we're slowly making headway. At this point we're still just under 60 miles from Providencia and we'll most likely keep going. We could stop at the reefs of the "Vivarillos" and we'll make that call when we get there. We may choose to keep going all the way to Guanaja if the weather holds and we have enough wind to at least keep the sails full. We don't carry enough fuel to motor the entire way. From Providencia to Guanaja is more than 375 miles – and its 250 to Providencia from Linton.

So we're sailing. Micahel's posting position reports on the where are we page if you want to follow our progress.
