Ship's Log:
Decided to make a short stop at Manuel Antonio park, one of Costa Ricas most famous. It is very busy here so we anchored off near some outlying islands to do some exploring. We found a thrilling spot while snorkeling and exploring indentations along the coast. Entering a sea cave snorkelers discouverd a sandy beach at the head of the cave, 80ī in. With waves surging in you could ride almost to the end of the cave where safety from the ocean swell could be found. Once inside trainees were overcome with treasure fever and were convinced that this is the utimate spot for hidden treasure. After almost two hours of digging and many stories of spanish galleons depositing thier booty along the Costa Rican coast, efforts were abandoned. Efforts were not in vain though our treasured sea cave is now 30ī longer due to all the sand removal. Quepos tomorrow.
