#12 Incredible Roscoe Inlet

This past few days we encouraged the Seeker crew to visit Bella Coola and Eucott Bay and they seemed impressed.  Nevertheless, all week long they’ve been ranting and raving about Roscoe Inlet.  Today the Wild Blue crew followed Seek…

Somethings just can’t be rushed

We are currently in Deltaville at Doziers Regatta Point, we got here on Monday and its now Wed. and here we sit.  The weather on the Bay has been very windy and the seas are 3-4 ft today (on the bay) !  When we left Norfolk on Monday it was v…

#11 The Quest for the Best Water

So Alex awakes at 6:30 AM somewhat clear-headed, checks the instruments and ponders.  The boats are in 11-feet of depth on Eucott Bay.  The tide is at 6-feet and falling to a low of ½ foot within 2-hours.  11 minus 6 equal 5.  The …

RACING WITH THE WIND

April 28,2012

Northern Costa Rica and Guatemala


We left Marina Papagayo April 18 and headed for Bahia Ensueno in the Murcielagos as it supposedly had good snorkeling. Unfortunately the water was cloudy and then the wind kicked up so after one night we moved around the point to Bahia Santa Elena a large bay that is very protected from the swell.  We ended up staying 8 days til the Papagayo winds(gap winds) abated.  There was a great shell beach where e I found a good specimen of a Paper Nautilus shell.  Snorkeling was disappointing again on th…
