This is probably the furthest east we will go in
the San Blas, water very clear but so far no big fish to see, not even when
we prepared our latest catch! From the cockpit we can see 10 classic
desert islands and as many reefs just under the surface. Fortunately the
sun came out just as we approached making spotting them easier. The
overcast weather may have moved on as we can now see mainland Panama again,
but as our last weather 'update' was 3 days old when it got here we must
wait to see if it is set fair for our passage to Colon.
So fish for supper again, (only a 6 mile journey
but we are getting short on supplies) First up was a Barjack, smaller than
the first so decided to let that go, all be it with a sore lip. Not 10
mins later we thought we must have the same fish again but no. This
time we have what looks like some sort of mackerel but on the ID cards could be
a 'Little Tunny' (take your choice when we get the photos
downloaded) This time we had alcohol in a small squeezy bottle ready to
'fill the gills' and soon anaesthetised it. Anyway big enough for two and
now ready for the BBQ as soon as I've cleaned that
out.
