 Diane and her beautiful beachfront home.
Pollo carbon
Maybe I forgot to mention Cypress somehow managed to get fleas in the middle of the ocean. 
 He was NOT a happy camper.

1/5/13 Went to town to pick up a few things before we leave to more isolated places. Picked up some chicken “carbon” bbq, a little spendy at almost $10 but it will last us probably 3 meals. Also went to lunch and met some people who had a house here. They invited us over to see it, beautiful place on the beach. If you are looking to rent a place here it is very nice and reasonable. They are from Amador, near our home base in the states. Such a small world.

Sun has been shining and we are enjoying a nice few days. Today we will anchor over at an island and maybe go snorkeling.

Wet and windy for 3 days, this is a challenging anchorage anyway and to add the swells coming in from the storm makes for tricky dinghy landings. We watch for wave sets, usually 3 sets of waves followed by a short calm period. The best way is to follow right after the last wave into the shore, ride the crest as far into the shore as you can, jump out and drag the dinghy up the sand before the next wave comes in. Sometimes you have a good landing, sometimes you end up all wet, but anytime nobody gets hurt, it's a good day.
