April 30th, 2010

Left Shelter Bay Tuesday afternoon and overnighted in Isla Grande, Panama, near Linton. Left there at 6 am aiming to stop in San Blas. That didn't happen as we heard there could be some "weather" coming up. We are presently one hour outside Boca Chica, Cartagena. Our first night out was very comfortable until Ralph came on shift and I went down to go to sleep at 2 am. A big squall was straight ahead, and several others surrounding. No avoiding them. It was a very uncomfortable 4 hours passing through...rough and lots of lightning.

Last night was very uneventful. We have been motoring or motor sailing the whole way. We'll tie to the dock, in Manzanillo boat yard and put Fortuitous on the hard on Monday as the travel lift is down for maintenance right now.
