Ship's Log:
Yesterday was an uneventful day of motoring as we made our way to Isla del Cano. Our arrival was in the dark at 2300hrs. This morning we awoke to crystal clear waters teeming with fish and an exciting looking island to explore. Most of our day was spent snorkeling on the coral reefs that surround the island. Huge grouper, angelfish, barracuda, parrot fish, moray eels and white tipped reef sharks were some of the many treats found here. During the afternoon we circumnavigated the island and snorkeled interesting looking spots along the way.
Tonight we are anchored once again off the wardens cabin on the north side of the island. Our plans are to visit the island tomorrow morning then to move 12 miles to the east and visit the small community located in Bahia Drake for New Years eve.
All are well and enjoying the clear water and warm temps.
