Bahia Rincon, Costa Rica
A few days ago, we made the break from Golfito. We motored in absolute calm conditions, twenty miles to the head of the Golfo Dulce, where we put the anchor down in a sweet little bay called Bahia Rincon.
This has to be the most tranquil, isolated spot we have been in in years. Because it is a little out of the way, not really on a route to anywhere, not many cruisers seem to bother with it. Their loss! This has proven to be an idyllic location, very peaceful, and we have the whole place to ourselves other than some sort of aquaculture or research station that is set up on one side of the bay.
It is still warm, somewhere in the low 30s during the day, still quite humid, but we do get a bit more of a breeze here than we did in Golfito. For the last two days, in the early evening, we have finally experienced some rainfall, with a bit of lightning and thunder mixed in. The birds in the surrounding jungle seem to get quite excited whenever a squall is approaching. Mostly what we see flying over us are pairs of scarlet macaws, squawking like they own the place.
So far, we have only gone to shore once. for a short walk before some distant thunder had us scurrying back to the mothership. We have used the opportunity, what with the rain and all, to scrub a bit of the accumulated grime off the decks, and even got real brave and took freshwater showers outside the other night - this is the cruising life we had previously only heard about - pretty cool.

Our next planned stop will be at Bahia Drake, on the other side of the Osa Peninsula. This is only 10 miles away as the macaw flies, but since we cannot take the boat overland, our route will be closer to 82 miles. We will probably move on in the next day or two.
