This morning as several of us were drinking our coffee in the Cayuco Club we were a little taken aback at what we saw moving up the Rio Dulce.
A small blue hulled sailboat with head and mainsail up (I do believe that the main was reefed) was being rowed by her Captain in front of the boat by dinghy! Yesterday we had watched this 28-30 foot sailboat ghost it’s way down river. It provided conversation during the Sunday afternoon Mah Jongg game. We postulated and gestured about him for awhile. “Does he have an engine?” “Is he trying to save diesel?” “Does he not realize there is NO wind?” “Does he care?”
So there he was this morning still without any wind rowing against the current. I wish him well.
