Friday 26th July

We had to wait for the flood to be able to leave our mooring. We couldn't leave until 3pm. It took a long time against the current sail due east to get out of the river. Once out at sea our course was then pretty much to the west. Sadly this was the direction the wind was blowing from. We battered our way slowly to windward and it took about 3 hours to get to the point on the sea parallel to the marina in the river. The passage was tedious but fortunately not too long and it was 8pm when we moored in Isla Canela.
