Golfito, Costa Rica
It sure is hard to get motivated here in Golfito. We have been here for over a week now and not a lot has been accomplished. Of course, maybe we didn't really have much that needed to be accomplished in the first place.

It is very hot and humid. Every day the forecast is for thundershowers but we have not seen a drop of rain yet. It is the "dry" season, which hereabouts usually means it only rains about twice a week. What we are experiencing is considered a draught.
Most days we have taken a walk into town, possibly buying a few provisions, once to buy a simm chip for our phone, today to buy some oil at the service station. It is all pretty exciting stuff to be sure. On average, we see about one boat arrive and/or leave each day, so our neighbours have been changing a bit. Right now there are only 3 sailboats at anchor so it is getting a little lonely. There is hardly anyone hanging around in the clubhouse at the Land and Sea Marina, so hardly anyone to talk to either.

Our plan is to leave here tomorrow, although we have been saying that every day for a while now. Today's excuse was that it is Friday the 13th, not a good day to do anything. I have managed to buy 20 gallons of diesel and have done an oil change, so I guess we are ready to move on. Just so you know, it is not that we are lazy; the real problem with moving northward right now is that the dreaded Papagayo winds are blowing like stink off the coast of Nicaragua - we need to delay long enough to let them mellow out a bit before we try and leave Costa Rica. So when we leave here, we probably won't go far.
