Last sail of the season to Puntarenas, Costa Rica.

The Easter Week-end we took Aros Mear to her final resting place for this season, as we have decided to go home from Costa Rica and will arrive back in Scotland on 24th of April.
Our sail took us through a gab in between a couple of islands with the current running like The Curriewrecken. We crossed the Gulf of Nicoya and called the pilot from Marina Puerto Azull from the way- point outside in deeper water, and the panga arrived with our pilot.
Puntarenas is situated on a 10 mile long narrow sand strip with a river flowing at the inside and silting up the estuary. We had to arrive at high tide on the slack. Everything went well but there were some problems moving the boat into the actual slip as the tide was pushing us, and we had a whole crowd of helpers, but no real chief! However, we are happy in the marina now.
