Each year, at this time, I reflect on the Furthur Adventure and where it has gone, the boat, the crew and the captain. 8 years ago, September, a scared shitless, nervous, excited and thrilled guy left his lifelong home, a place he loved, and set out to the unknown. Eight years later I have never regretted a thing and keep living the adventure. This year our adventure started in a familiar place, the Subic Bay Yacht club, where we do boat work and sit out the rainy/typhoon season. We left in…

8 Year Report, the Voyage
Day 2 – La Fortuna Waterfall
“You don’t climb the mountain so everyone can see you, but to see the world yourself.” – Guru Sloth
Day two in Costa Rica started with breakfast at a little bakery down the street, with croissant type pastries and wonderful Costa Rican coffee. It was fuel for our first adventure of the day…hiking to the Fortuna Waterfall.
Blog followers know we love waterfalls…we can never spend too much time exploring them. The Fortuna Waterfall is one of the most popular spots to visit in Costa Rica, so it was a little more crowded than we like. The waterfall is about 230’ tall. Getting to the bottom of the falls is easier today than it was a few years ago…all you have to do is descend 530 steps. Once at the bottom you can swim in the crystal clear waters of the Fortuna River and have a unique view of the falls. A relaxing way to spend a few hours…the real workout comes on the way up!

La Fortuna, Costa Rica
“Travel is searching for something you never knew existed, while running towards finding pieces of your newfound self.” —Kiana Azizian
Our first destination in Costa Rica is the little village of La Fortuna, from here we’ll spend five days exploring the area, doing a little hiking and taking in a few new adventurous activities we haven’t done before.

We started our day with breakfast at the Wyndham Hotel in San Jose
The further north we drove the foggier it it became, area we went through is know as a cloud forest…so it is foggy there most of the time. By the time we arrived in La Fortuna it was raining. We’re in the rainforest so we expect to get wet.

On Our Way to Costa Rica
“Traveling is life. It’s experiencing this world to the complete fullest and putting yourself in new situations you’ve never dreamed of before.” —Kiana Azizian
South Texas is a winter escape for people from Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Canada and other places covered in snow this time of year. We call them Winter Texans, but for us we need to escape to some place a little warmer…someplace we can find a little adventure and maybe a little sunshine. So we’ve decided to take a trip to Costa Rica. Costa Rica is in Central America. It’s bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, with Panama to the south and Nicaragua to the north. It’s a short, direct 3 1/2 hour flight from Houston to San Jose.
