Wow, what a beautiful place. We moved yesterday, after a bit of difficulty retrieving our anchor which was snagged on something immovable on the bottom. Vegie boat called just prior to us leaving and we restocked on fresh fruit & veg. We met up with Connie & Steve from "Better Days". Also anchored here is an Horizon motor yacht "Lady Margaret". Lovely people Ken and Bruna. Just before arriving at the anchorage, some Kuna who were fishing & diving waved us over. We bought 4 lobsters & and big crab. So the freezer is now well stocked with seafood except fish, which we are having trouble catching or buying. Had a fantastic dinner and Jimmy Buffet themed entertainment night. Tasted our first Conch (the creature that lives in those beautiful pink curly shells) and fresh tuna sashimi. It was very nice. We then proceeded to drink wine, play maracas and dance to Jimmy Buffet. Where else but in the San Blas, we have now been well and truly "San Blasted". Snorkelled yesterday and today on a couple of the many coral reefs that surround this area. Did cocktail hour standing in neck high water off one of the islands whilst schools of little fish, swam between us i a great hurry. Happy that we didn't see the 'something larger' that was chasing them. This is definitely the most beautiful place we have see in the San Blas so far. This is what it is all about. Moving across the channel tomorrow to a as yet unknown destination tomorrow with "Better Days", then not sure, but we don't have a timetable and have difficulty working out which day it is. The weather has been great the last few days. Very little wind, lower humidity and calm seas and no bities.
