Dirty, Hot and Miserable ?.. sailing the MOST Biologically Diverse Place in the World (Ep143 )

Cruising Costa Rica epitomizes the old saying that cruising is full of high, highs and low, lows. Almost a bipolar existence. We are blown away by the beauty of the Osa Peninsula. Covering an area of just 700 square miles on the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica, the Peninsula is estimated to house 2.5% of the biodiversity of the entire world - while covering less than a thousandth of a percent of its total surface area - making it by definition, the most biologically intense place on earth. We see white-faced capuchin monkeys, Scarlett macaws, like the ones we saw in Golfito - and hundreds of other birds, reptiles, insects and plants, trees and flowers along this hike. The flips side to this amazing location is the sailing side of the equation. We face rolly anchorages, not much breeze and treacherous dinghy landings in order to access the shore. All this makes us wonder if a trip to Costa Rica would be better by land rather than on a boat ?.
