Bahia Uvita, CR
18.1.2013
Didn't have much wind but choppy waves against us so decided not to motor the 35nm to Bahia Drake but pulled in behind this beautiful tiny island after 12nm.
According to the cruising guide, there's beautiful snorkeling and diving here. It wasn't bad for the Pacific side, however, nothing really great. Pretty green and murky, lots of plankton and stuff, and just a few reef fish here and there. Probably also because of the heavy rains these days.
Maybe the diving would have been better, as the clarity seems to improve with depth and colder water, but I'm still batteling with a sore throat and cold, so we better save the refilled tanks for a better opportunity.
Off to Bahia Drake after breakfast!
That beautiful rocky island that gives us some shelter from the swell.
This coast line is soooo green! No wonder with all this rain and humidiy.
