An early start this morning - 6.30am. We were on our way towards the canal with an overnight stop at either Isla Linton or Portobelo. We had a couple of miles heading into the wind and swell leaving the San Blas which was hard work but once we cleared the reef it was downwind all the way. On the clearing the reef we had between 20 - 25 knots of wind behind us so just had the staysail out then as the wind started to ease we pulled the genoa out as well. We had a good sail and arrived at Isla Linton at 2pm.
Balu and Red Herring had arrived before us so Graham (Red Herring) came to pick us up in his dinghy to take us to Balu for a cup of tea. From Balu we could see the monkeys on the beach so Tristan (Balu guest), Jim (Balu), Graham and us went to visit the monkey. They were really friendly and enjoyed the crackers we had to give them.
From the beach we headed over to Vagabond Heart who had also arrived and had a cup of tea with them. By the time we left it was 6pm and time for tea and a dvd.
