Catalpa sails from El Salvador to Costa Rica over four days with crew including Ali, covering roughly 400–500 nautical miles along the Pacific coast past Nicaragua and Honduras.15:11 Wind was scarce for the first three days — speeds as low as one to three knots forced motoring and left the boat barely moving — before building to 15–25 knots on day four, when Catalpa hit six to nine knots and made her best run.16:19 The captain used PredictWind to cross-reference a friend's real-time wind data via the PredictWind Data Hub 2 and AIS, confirming 17-knot conditions ahead.8:48 The most serious moment came off Nicaragua when a squall with lightning closed in; the captain spent 30 minutes identifying a gap in the storm cell and threaded through it, with lightning visible on both sides.5:13 A second squall 102 nautical miles from Costa Rica brought 28-knot winds and sent a box flying in the engine room; a reef put in five minutes before it hit kept conditions manageable.13:24 Fishing lines ran throughout but produced no keepers.6:53 The crew arrived at a protected anchorage in Costa Rica at dusk — not the official check-in bay — and noted that Costa Rica customs requires visiting multiple offices unless an agent is hired.18:26 Reefing early before a visible squall, even one with a rainbow, proved the right call.11:51
