35 miles south from Panama city and we are back anchoring in desertedbays again. Where we are at the moment, the only other boats we can see are the 3 Oysters that we agreed to meet in the same anchorage. Sea is bit cloudly, not the clear seas of the San Blas islands and there are small jelly fish so I was able to use my stinger suit ( a very thin wet suit) , gloves and balaclava which stops me getting bitten by them. Hundreds of sea birds, mainly pelicans, but also some turns and comorants. dinner has been very social affairs with pre-dinner dirnks on one boat following by dinner - we are taking it in turns to entertain.. Mediatation and yoga stretches are going well and this morning I saw the last of the moon over the islands to the west before dawn at about 6.00 am , and then sunrise in the east and hour later
