The sunrise on Monday, May 12 was blocked by low atmospheric clouds.
And the rest of the sky turned an odd violet-ish color.
We’d decided to move around the corner, where it was more protected from the wind/wind chop (the blue dot on the map that we’d posted upon arrival at Highbourne Cay). We had to bring in the flopper stopper no matter what, as they weren’t meant for use in motion. Even though it was a short ride, we decided it was best to bring up the dinghy, too.

We saw a lot of these overloaded trucks in Mexico, particularly around Las Cruz de Huanacaxtle, where there was a lot of construction happening.
This week has been really boring. We’ve been at sea the entire week. We left for Panama Saturday morning of January 4th. On Sunday I learned that yogurt tastes the same coming up as it does coming down. I played a lot of video games, listened to a lot of audio books, and ate a lot of food. We saw some dolphins, birds, and even a few turtles.
Cette semaine a été très ennuyante. On a navigué toute la semaine. On est parti pour le Panama le 4 janvier au matin. Dimanche j’ai appris que le yaourt a le même goût quand tu le vomis que quand tu le manges. J’ai joué à beaucoup de jeux video, écouté beaucoup de livres audio, et mangé beaucoup de nourriture. On a vu des dauphins, des oiseaux et des tortues.
On the last day, I made myself some nachos, but other than that the trip hasn’t been eventful (this was written on the 10th of January).
Le dernier jour j’ai fait des nachos, mais à part ça le voyage est très ennuyant.
Sunrise on January 6, 2024
in the morning, the swells were about 4 feet and coming from two different directions: on the nose and on the starboard right quarter, so we were both hobby-horsing and lurching. The intervals between the swells had increased, too, adding to the discomfort. The good news was that the wind was light at about 4-knots, so wind waves were small.
It was miserably hot again, so we ran the AC for most of the day to help minimize the discomfort. We had a pod of dolphins come to play for a while. Christi saw a turtle.
Dawn on Saturday, January 4
We were up early and had Kosmos ready for sea by the time the authorities arrived at 0830. We’d thought it would only be a dog and handler doing a last-minute inspection to make sure we weren’t smuggling anything out. However, a team of four people plus one dog arrived.
