Ship's Log:
Had another great day at Chemela yesterday with games and long walks on the spectacular beach.
Left today for Bahia Tanacatita instead of Navidad. We were told about a river that led inland from from the bay and that taking a trip up the river was possible by small boat. After anchoring we took the inflatable up to check it out and spent 40 min. traveling through mangroves which sometimes completly closed in over head. Very narrow in parts with only inches on each side we were constanly on the lookout for the crockodiles that others have seen near here. Many beautiful birds, crabs and fish were seen before our destination was reached. At the end of the river there was yet another beach out of "never never land"
Our plan is to tow the dories up the river tomorrow so everyone can have the chance to see this fascinating place. Oh yes, and moms, no Crocks. seen.
