Traveling the world whether its by car or plane or train or boat, can be unpredictable. In combining sailing and traveling the world, I sometimes feel like there isn’t any control other than where pointing the bow of the boat feels best, and even then, sometimes we literally have no idea where we are going to end up. I think that’s what freedom is…giving up on trying to control things, and going with the flow of life. Its more a mental state of mind I think, and one thing about freeing yourself of control is, suddenly anything becomes possible. Now not to say we don’t plan things or enjoy structure when we can find it. And it’s not often that we don’t have at least some idea of what were going to be doing in a country we decide to visit. Even before sailing to the Bahamas for the first time, we knew SOME of what to expect. Crystal clear water, learning how to catch and cook fish, learning how to sail on the ocean haha. In Panama, we knew we had one goal, get to know this new boat, Boundless. Sailing to Nicaragua marks our 3rd country with her, and not only did we not know what to expect in this new country (maybe because we hadn’t even considered stopping here) but our new friends Becka, Zach also had no clue what to expect. Well this week we are hiking two of Nicaraguas 40 volcanoes, sliding down the face of an active one on sketchy plywood boards, and then sleeping with the cows on the top of the second. But our first impressions were not the exciting thrills of volcano boarding and camping, it was the Marina Puesta Del Sol that has a sprawling estate like feel. Beautiful buildings we were told are filled with hotel rooms, but nobody was home. We had the place to ourselves aside from a few other cruising boats. Mango trees were everywhere, and the marina employees had a great method for reaching the perfectly ripe fruit. And the beaches, wow, some of the most breathtaking we’ve seen. I hope you enjoy!
