Off to the Islands

Luggage reportedly at the airport, but we have left. We made it to Contadora today and will be out and about the Perlas islands for the next week or so. Beautiful sail out today, perfect winds ~20 knots, sailing at 8-9 knots (we are loaded for the South Pacific no less). Nice day at the beach and the awesome tree house at the park. Getting back into the travel mode after being stuck in the errand mode for so long. Caught a Bonita on the way out and had fish tacos for dinner. Lots of wind, so we are even running the fridge. Getting spoiled now! Now off to bed, thinking it's going to be a snorkeling kind of day tomorrow.

Nice beach day - Intrepid found an eel, maybe a small Moray eel? saw 2 eagle rays swimming by, lots of jelly fish floating by the boat, Vitality caught one and they put it in a pan, had watermelon on the back swim steps, lunch, and now it's quiet time. Getting back into the routine. Probably leaving Internet this afternoon. We were going to swim, but the jellies floating by were a bit of a deterrent.

Feb. 18, off to Chapera to snorkel with the white tipped sharks!! Nice winds, sails up, kids napping, see you in a week!

Made it to Boyarena - nice little island that is all sand on top and no trees. It gets washed over at high tides. Nice snorkeling today, kids played in a large tide pool that was like a kiddy pool with no waves, sandy bottom, and about 1 -2 feet deep. It was perfect for them. Then cool watermelon on the back swim steps with sandwiches for lunch. Good half to the day.
