Relianto is full of fuel, water, and us. We are waiting on customs to clear us out so we can sail to Isla Providencia. If we get weird winds, we will go to an easier place to get to, say Boca del Toro, Panama.

We had the unbelievable opportunity to visit Chichen-Itza, the famous Mayan temple. It makes you feel insignificant when you witness the grandness of an entire civilization that has disappeared. It is interesting to note that, the cause of the decline of the Mayans was the fact that the royalty class grew larger while the productive working class grew smaller. It grew top-heavy and crumbled. I can’t help but compare that to the US right now. The things like congress voting in different health care for them and helping themselves to the spoils of the land, like the Mayans. I suppose we can’t learn from history.

The architects used shadow and light in ingenious ways that change and appear at different times of the year to indicate harvest, planting, time to play games...



The weather forecast promises good sailing. We have had fun here and we have the boat again in ocean-going condition. We are ready to sail on!
