Hanging out in Bahia Ballena

We left the Costa Rica Yacht Club 3 days ago. Everyone was happy to say farewell to busy Puntarenas with its fishing boats racing back and forth. We are now anchored in a large, placid bay surrounded by the incredible natural beauty that Costa Rica is famous for. Much better!

Wayne, aboard S/V Learnativity, is here as well, so we get to share our fun times with him and his dog Ruby.

So far we have been taking things easy aboard Samadhi V. The boys have been working on their schoolwork, and we have done some underwater boat maintenance. Alexander and Nicholas strapped on regulators and explored a bit underwater, too.

We have taken a few trips ashore, and we are planning more extensive travels to other anchorages in the next few days. There are so many places to visit that it's hard to decide where to begin!

On our cruise to Bahía Ballena, we answered a call for assistance over the VHF. Kelly was on watch and talked with the boat. As luck would have it, we were able to help out the cruisers aboard S/V Nemesis when we arrived at the anchorage (just before they did themselves). Jeff injured his hand with a chisel while underway! We were so happy we could offer assistance! You can read more about their experiences in their blog.



Today we're all looking forward to more fun in the sun with our cruising friends. Nicholas, of course, is particularly looking forward to more fishing.
