Isla Provadencia!!!!!!!

Yep, that just proves it. Jargo is definately a sailboat and not a trawler. 200 miles in 40 hours and oh what an amazing sail it was. I averaged over five knots with a single reefed main jib furled into about 70 percent. I took a squall or two with winds that gusted to 35 and 40 knots, but Jargo just kept on going unphased. It´s really beginning to feel normal being at sea. Watch out Pacific.

I am sitting in the only internet shop on the island and things are very, very slow. I will not be responding to emails here so please bear with me if you are waiting to hear from me.

I´d like to take three or four days to put the boat back in order, rest, eat, sleep, and explore the island, but I may not get the chance. I don´t understand the reason yet, but I am being encourged not to check into Colombia and leave first thing tomorrow for Panama. I could do it, but I don´t want to. I seriously need some sleep and fresh produce. That last squash I ate was very questionable. Anyways, they´ve arranged to have 40 gallons of diesel fuel on the dock for me to jerry can to Jargo in the next 10 minutes so I have to run. Hopefully I can get things figured out so I can stay a bit longer and recoup. Much love to everyone.

Here´s to big seas, big wind, and big tuna. Yep, I caught another one. Then something with really sharp teeth bit through my line and stole my lure.
