These are pics of our last sail through Lago Izabal before tying up Andiamo in Rio Dulce for the rest of the summer (and hurricane season). Mahia stayed on as crew, and a day later, Miet and her friends Steven and Saartje joined us from Frontreras. It was to be a wonderful three day sail, where we saw awesome breezes, amazing sunsets, fierce thunderstorms and other wonders. And despite one big and stupid foible on my part, the experience continued unfettered. Here’s to good sailing, good friends, old and new, and everything else that Andiamo stands for.Without further adieu….
Our first night, anchored off Finca Paraiso, brought in a fierce thunderstorm that convected off the mountains. It was thunder and lightning on steroids, and rain that fell in absolute horizontal sheets for much of the time:
The next day, we made it out to the Agua Caliente (hot waterfalls), so Mahia can get a chance to enjoy it…
Then, back to Frontreras to pick up Miet, Saartje and Steven…
Then, it was off back to the Lake…
The next few shots are of the sensational sunset we saw in El Refugio:
