Quepos is a quiet little town close to its major attraction, the Manuel Antonio National Park, which is a separate tourist area. The marina at Quepos is not yet finished but when it is, will be spectacular and probably better than Los Suenos. We spend a few days provisioning as I'm not sure what will be available in Golfito when we get there.We went to the park and it was really excellent. Lots of critturs. The beach in the park was also perfect.

Cruise ship Windstar in Quepos, Callisto next doorJoanne arrived on Sunday night and we went over to Manuel Antonio Bay yesterday to anchor up for the day and do some swimming and snorkeling.
A bit of a disaster happened late in the afternoon. We had a lightening strike very close to the boat and my engine won't start and some of my nav instruments are out. I can't find any visible damage so I think this was a near miss and the EM pulse is what caused the damage.
We got a tow back to Quepos from the Costa Rican Coast Guard and I spent the day trying to track down Volvo technicians and also an electronics dude. This will require many boat units but I'm stuck otherwise. Literally dead in the water.
Will post some photos soon and report on the progress of repairs
