Bonaire to Panama Day 2

Jonny had just gone to bed when we got a radio call from the Los Monjes Coastguard, part of the Venezuelan navy. he wanted to know our name, position, flag, last port, next port, cargo on board and no. of crew but his english wasnt very good so everything had to be spelt phonetically!! We eventually made him realise we were a small sailing boat with 2 crew and no cargo!!
We continued to motor until about 4.30pm as the winds stayed light. By this time we could see Christine Anne. In the evening the winds picked up and we were sailing nicely with genoa on one side and main on the other. The winds have started to die again now.
Distance for Day 2: 146 miles.
