After Green Island, we all headed out to Cayos Holandes. We made a bit of a mistake here when we went ashore. The cays are a group of small islands and reefs, but the names in our book and the names on the electronic charts are often different, that is if they are mentioned at all on the charts! Also they are often in very different positions. We made the mistake of confusing Bug Island with BBQ Island - BIG mistake, we all ended up covered in bites - oops! We did manage to find BBQ Island the next day, now renamed Turtle Island, which was lovely, there was even a restaurant of sorts - if you ordered your food in the morning, they would catch it and cook it for you.

A star fish
At last a real use for a star fish! Having failed to tie his canoe properly to a tree and having to chase after it through the surf, David wondered if a star fish would make a better anchor!!!
