This will be a short post - just to let you all know we are underway as I write this! We are heading out of the Bay of Panama and making record speed for us - for the last hour we have consistently been posting speeds over 8 knots. It is fun to go this fast, especially when it does not feel out of control. We are on a beam reach, which is a decent angle if we don't heel too much. The seas are coming from a couple if different directions, what we call "confused seas" which means you get knocked around a bit, but nothing serious or even that uncomfortable. We just had a light dinner of sandwiches, and will probably have bowls of chili if we are hungry later on. We try to have super easy stuff the first couple of days at sea, just to get used to the watch schedule and the new sleeping hours.
It was hard to leave our friends at Espiritu Santo, but we will hopefully reunite with them later on down the line. One thing about meeting so many interesting people - we also have to say good bye to them as well, often before we are ready to do so.
This has been a really great day, one of those days that makes me remember all the reasons I had for coming out here. More later!
