We are currently 40 nautical miles south of Cabo Corrientes on a fast reach with six foot swells and wind a bit over twenty knots.

The port captain, immigration, and customs all showed up right on time and after a bit of discussion over which of our passports could be stamped, cleared us on our way. It was a little strange this morning realizing that today was the last day in Paradise Village, the marina that had become our home for the past year while got Roam ready to go.

Pam and Joan just served dinner (tri-tip sliders with a salad). I'll admit I'm a bit queasy as I usually am the first day or two of a passage.

But spirits are high. The boat is moving fast, and the weather looks good for the next few days.

I won't post every day so as not to fill up your inbox. We do post a daily update on our tracking page and you can check that any time [here](https://sailroam.com/wheres-roam/?ref=sailroam.com) or on the ["Where's Roam" link ](https://sailroam.com/wheres-roam/?ref=sailroam.com)at the top of the page/menu.

Port captain, customs, immigration, marina security all show up to make sure we actually leave the country. Captain Eugenie (in blue) is our guardian angel. We wouldn’t be leaving today if it wasn’t for everything she did to help this project come together.

And we're off
