05:00 George was treated to an electric storm of note. Lightening flashing all round and the wind got up too. When things had calmed down we found we had a 3-4 knot current against us - we just don't seem to have any luck with currents - with a COG of 2knots we were due to get to Shelter Bay on Saturday. So started both motors and pushed the revs up to give us 7-8knots through the water and about 5knots COG. Still our predicted lunch time arrival was not realised. We finally tied up in Shelter Bay Marina at 16:15.
What a lovely marina, miles away from Colon, but backs on to a jungle nature reserve. What bliss to shower and sip cold beers in the air-conditioned bar.
Waiting for the ad-measurer to come and get us set for the transit.
Cheers
Chris
