A family of four living aboard a sailboat in Costa Rica spends ten days at an anchorage near Matapalo and Pavones to surf local breaks. The crew experiences varying swell conditions, ranging from flat water to three-to-four-foot waves, and utilizes a dinghy to transit eight nautical miles across the bay to reach the Pavones surf break.▶ 8:44 While anchored, the crew hikes to a local waterfall and manages boat provisions, noting that the anchorage is rolly but offers access to surfing and nature.▶ 12:36 The family prepares to depart Costa Rica for Panama, citing the expiration of their 90-day boat import permit.▶ 17:28 They weigh anchor and sail toward Golfito to complete customs checkout procedures, briefly engaging in a lighthearted sailing race with a nearby vessel before engaging the autopilot.▶ 23:10 The crew plans to decide between crossing the Pacific or transiting the Panama Canal upon reaching Panama.▶ 21:44
