Isla Del Rey is the largest of the Las Perlas
islands, with several villages and anchorages on the eastern and southern
sides. We are anchored at Isla Canas off the eastern shore, where the
cruising guide says there is a village that sells fresh fruit and pearls.
We are going to visit the village tomorrow morning.
As we were rounding the southern tip of the island
Bertie caught a large fish. Looking it up in our fish books it turned out
to be a Yellow Jack, which is supposed to be good only for curing or
pickling. We tried marinading and then barbecuing it and Andrea and
Estella thought the result was passable but Bertie and I did not like it.
It has a strongly flavored dark meat. Fortunately we had some steaks
to eat as well and the pina coladas made from the green pineapple milk were
good, so dinner worked out OK in the end.
