Paw Paw - Log Day 15: A Dose of Patience Pays Off



We left Marina Santa Marta in calm winds and not struggling off the dock. We then spent the next 20 minutes motoring before picking up the winds and seas that were forecasted. Although the seas were 6 to 8 Ft and the winds 25 to 30 Kts initially, it was a lot calmer than the previous day. After 4 hours or so both the seas and wind settled to a comfortable 15 to 20 Kts in 4 to 6 Ft seas as we sailed along nicely maintaning our double-reefed main and head sails. Since rounding the river mouth at Baranquilla at a distance of 15 NM, we've enjoyed champagne sailing in 10 to 15 Kt winds out of the north in 1 to 3 Ft seas and we were rewarded with another pod of dolpins crossing our bow. The dose of patience has certainly paid off! We're looking forward to our morning arrival tomorrow in the San Blas Islands.
