We made it into 5 bays - we are in the 3rd one along to be exact. We left with good wind yesterday but unfortunately this dropped off into the afternoon  so we ended up motor sailing a fair way. We had the company of 2 very large bottlenose dolphins for a bit - named 'Christo and Yanni' (by Matt). Not sure they liked their new Greek names as they didnt stick around too long. Nick cooked a lovely pasta for dinner and we enjoyed it with a beautiful sunset. The boys were talking a big game about monopoly deal but after it got dark they quickly conked out. The wind picked up through the night and we had a nice fast passage through the night.

We made it into the bay 'Ensanada Gayraca' (3rd bay in) just before lunch time. So weve just been swimming eating and relaxing. Matt has been exploring on the paddleboard and Nick and I have been resting up. Unfortunately it looks like Nick might have a stomach bug as he is feeling pretty rubbish and I may well be headed the same way.... but for now we are anchored in a beautiful bay with high sided jungle coverd cliffs. There are some small sandy beaches dotted around and we are the only ones here. Plan was to leave for Santa Marta (just around the corner) tomorrow but we will see how we go tonight.....
