Day 4 on the boat

Day 4 on the boat. Since we departed Tamarindo, we have surfed fun
waves in Nosara, Camaronal, somewhere in the Gulf of Nicoya (where
supposedly there are no waves they say), Playa Hermosa, some remote
beachbreak near the Boca Damas, and now here in Quepos. GPS waypoints
recorded for the trip. Lots of fishing, huge Mahi Mahis, Mackerals,
even a 100 pound Sailfish we caught on 15 pound test line. Needless
to say we've eaten fish every day. Figuring out the new boat has been
good. I am super stoked, everything seems to be mechanically sound
with Zori. Plenty of room for everyone to chill. Luis Castro is
homesick, so is Chilo, looks like I might be running the boat for a
while with Charlie while we find a permanent 1st mate. The TV broke
this morning, it fell in rough seas, a bummer since I hadn't yet
gotten around to bolting it to the wall and I forgot to take it off
the shelf this morning. We had been getting crazy playing Transworld
Surf all night. At least I have another TV back in Tamarindo and will
get it on Wednesday when the van arrived with some food and supplies.
I'm planning on getting the boat documents ready to cross into Panama
and explore the islands in the Gulfo Chiriqui. I'm going to post pics
on the WRSC Surf Yacht page of the website in a couple of days. There
is a lot of other stuff going on back in Tamarindo, so I'm kindof
really happy to be hiding out on this boat. As I float here now, I
realize I'm exactly where I need to be.

That's one long iPhone composition, buddy. Glad the first run is so-far-so good! Less talk about fish, more talk about the waves =P
