    Great job! Curacao in the Atlantic, located between Colombia and Venezuela is a wonderful hurricane hole.

    The inside of Sitka is the coziest sailing boat I have seen so far. Despite the leaks you mentioned haha

    Sitka is a beautiful boat, despite the at-anchor makeshift repairs! It's the difference between an actual cruising boat and some luxury superyacht that spends 99% of it's time in the marina. I love the boat-centric episodes that include lots of details about the realities of cruising - I'm taking notes, because I want to be out there someday soon. Of course I watch all the other episodes too. You get up to the most incredible adventures on shore. That tent thing on the beach was killing me, LOL. Talk about style! I want one!

    So too of your squeeze's description of water at another locale being muddy, uninviting, & possibly dangerous to enter with potential man-eaters not visible.

    I’m a sailor from Costa Rica.. sadly it seems that your research was terrible 😂😂. The most amazing beaches are in the Guanacaste area, and you missed all of them… there are many safe and calm anchorages in Guanacaste and the gulf of Nicola area… you also missed them….. Herradura is also the area with several big marine stores where you would have found the foot switch for sure…
