porvenir is a small island with an airport where we had to go to drop off alex and garry at the end of their trip. in the approach there is a reef called sail rock and a sailboat crashed against it. a terrible sight but as it turned out the kuna congress, who is now the owner of the wreck had some self tailing winches to sell to us from that boat. a great purchase that will make our lives easier when sailing because we can now roll up the head sails with no hands!!! it is a good thing we are not superstitious because so far we have purchased and installed many things for the boat that came from wrecks, not to mention of course the name change from freebird to puerto seguro... but just in case and not to tempt the gods, we did have a ceremony for that....
