We decided to sail down to Nargana for some fresh produce, we had heard
from Marcus and Margie (Island Kea) that there may be a way to get money out
here from a local. We set off with them and had a short sail to Nagana, when we
arrived in the anchorage there were 5 group 2 boats already there. We anchored
and went ashore and soon found Alberto the man for money and were able to get
some out - not as much as we wanted but enough for now - the bank didn’t have
much money in it! We will probably come back in a couple of weeks if we are
running low, there are no ATMs until Portobello about 80 miles west of here and
the banks here are just for Kuna use. They don't let foreigners get money out so
we were not expecting to be able to get more however this man is a business man
and has a card reader, he gets the money from the bank then you pay him via the
card reader plus some commission which is well worth it. We found the vegetables
a little lacking - there is apparently a food boat coming in tomorrow but for
today we got a few rather old sad carrots, tomatoes, onions and a cabbage and I
did find a block of mozzarella cheese which is always useful, we still have some
cheese from the Dutch islands but its running low. Afterwards we had a drink
with Marcus and Margie in the town before heading back to the boat and going to
see Sisu where we found the sailors from all the other group 2 boats having a
sun downer and joined them for a catch up and of course a drink.
