Ship's Log:
Morning spent ashore at Isla del Cano. Exploring a tropical rainforest, hiking various trails and swimming in the surf. For the more adventurous who ventured inland there were stone artifacts from the Pre-Columbian period when the island was used as a buial island. Curious sphere shaped rocks ranging in dia. from 3" to 6ī. Also waterfalls with pools large enough to swim in were there for our enjoyment.
After lunch we set sail and had a glorious sail over to Drakes Bay. Our stealth team has just returned from a mission ashore to find cold drinks to celebrate new years. Quite a job heading ashore after dark in a strange place trying to find someone willing to sell enough soda for a boat load of 37 people. They were successful. So we will be sipping chilled drinks as our fireworks committee gives us their best new years eve show. Tonight our agenda includes games, coffee house and singing to take us to the top of the hour.
Happy New Year to you all.
- With all our best wishes Grace crew and trainees.
