We are no more than halfway. We are less than 200 miles from our
waypoint off Belize and then 30 miles or so to Livingston, Guatemala.
Very challenging evening. Lots of squalls moved through with lightening
off in the distance but nothing close. Suspect the storms were over
shore areas. This morning it continues overcast with showers that will
probably be around most of the day.
When the squalls came up we pulled in the sails and secured all our
electronics in the oven to protect them from lightening. With our sails
in we motored all night because of the risk of severe weather and at
night it isn't seen coming.
Yesterday in taking down the whisker pole the sail got loose and wrapped
around the stay. It caused some issues that we resolved but when we
tried to get the sail in last night there were challenges. I was able to
resolve them and get the sail in but then we couldn't get it back out.
Something to resolve today. We're sailing again with a reefed main and
the staysail until I get the jib resolved.
Next update sometime about happy hour.
