Safe & Sound in Ecuador

YIPPEE!  We arrived in Puerto Lucia near Salinas this morning, so ready to stop bashing. PHEW!  Sidewinder did an outstanding job of trudging through the waves as fast as she could sail. averaging 100 plus miles a day. The intensity for that many days was exhausting, and it is so good to just stop. We are pulling the boat out of the water tomorrow morning and the bottom work will begin as soon as we assess the needs. We were checked in by the authorities this afternoon and since then we have met nothing but amazing people. It feels like a whole new adventure has begun, and we are quite ready. It is cool here today, reminding me of home, and although I suddenly felt cold, it seems quite refreshing for now. Happy fall. If I have the time tomorrow, I will send some pictures and thoughts for the blog. Bye for now.
