It’s Worth the Drive from Tamarindo!
Tamarindo is our main tourist hub in the area. There are lots of restaurants, bars and things to do. However, many people that travel there want to get off the beaten path and come sailing with us. We are located in the less traveled area of Potrero Bay. While we are only 25 minutes from […]
Witch’s Rock and Ollie’s Point Overnight Surf Tours
I remember the first time I saw “Endless Summer II”. It was 1995, I was a 19 year-old, surfed-obsessed, college student, studying at Humbodlt State. The movie was playing in our commons hall and as I sat wedged between a group of drunk frat boys and a group of hippies smoking weed, I was lifted […]
Sailing with Children
I can see his little head bobbing up and down at the bow of the boat. His golden hair and brown skin a sharp contrast with the pale blue of the sky and the deep slate of the ocean. His bare feet dangle over and for a rare hour, my son is completely calm. His […]
The World Cup and “La Sele”
Costa Rica just lost in the quarter finals of the world cup. But, instead of being somber and defeated, the entire country continues to celebrate and be proud.

The Boat Buying Saga Part 2: October-January
Names have been changed to protect the innocent….meaning me. Blog 2 October-January After 5 months of trying to see the boat and negotiating a price, we now had a deal on “Anghinga”. The time was perfect, it was now October and the low season was on us. If we got the boat that month we […]
Boat Buying Saga Part1: June-September
I have changed names, not to protect the people in this story, but to protect myself. I have a hard time shopping for clothes. I have many fashionista friends and once in awhile they will pitch the idea of keeping up with the style of the day, ditching the jean skirt, buying really expensive workout […]
Sailing Costa Rica Blog
It was not that long that I didn’t even know what a “blog” was. Like the rest of us, when a new techno word comes out I ignore it for awhile until I can’t stop hearing words like “hash tag, tweet, blog” then I call me 18 year old brother. “A blog is like an […]
Sailing Tours in Costa Rica
As one might imagine there is a whole vast amount of “richness” off the coast of Costa Rica. Most travelers have the same type of experiences: a zipline in Arenal, a surf lesson at Playa Grande and maybe even a booze cruise, sunset boat tour out of Tamarindo. However, if you really want to experience […]
