Explore Sailing Voyages in Guatemala 🇬🇹

Started out motor sailing with 5-7 knots of wind close reach. Waves 1-2 ft. Once we cleared the inlet wind picked up to 20 knots upwind and we motored until eventually waves were 2-3 feet in 1-2 seconds from the front. We decided to pull into New Haven with front sail at 35 degrees of 21 knots apparent wind and up to 2.5 knots of current against us. The conditions were very uncomfortable at this point. The oscillating auto pilot in the river was no longer occurring once out to sea. However, the water maker is not working.

Motored to river outlet and check out spot for Guatemala. Ocean ahoy!

Motored in consistent rain from the marina anchorage to mouth of the lake after fueling and filling water tanks. Goodbye Guatemala home!

River motor with head sail out in 14 knot winds from behind.

Checked into customs using agent Raul. Witnessed monohaul being pulled to side to get through channel by 2 motor boats attached to halyard and hull. Motored up beautiful river to fishing village.

15-25 knot winds on broad reach. Waves 2-3 feet and surfing. Sailed wing on wing for short time. Pulled into anchorage before storm with up to 30 knot gusts.
