Catamaran sleepover

While our 10 meter sailing catamarán is built as a daysailer with no cabin, it has plenty of room on the main deck to put up a dome tent.  Yesterday I got fed up with fixing dry rot on a stern transom and decided to go camping down at the end of ´la laguna´where there is some remaining classic jungle and wildlife.  It was the first time I had slept out on the boat and it was a delight to put down the anchor in a secluded cove and go kayaking at twilight to see a whole variety of birds.

I had a good night´s sleep but dawn rose with ominous rolls of thunder in the distance so I headed back to Sauce quickly and got in just before a huge tropical downpour.  I was really glad it waited til I had gotten back.
