Saturday, March 24. Today's grib files force our hand. We must leave tomorrow because the winds will be from the ESE – something that very rarely happens here and perfect for a sail to the NE to San Andres. By Monday it is back to NE which would be right on the nose. It is about a 30 nm sail and so we can make it even at 4 kts. which hopefully means sailing instead of motor sailing. So today is our last day here this time. WE WILL RETURN! In the morning I swam off the boat in water that was truly “gin clear.” You could count the grains of sand on the bottom from the deck before diving in. In between swims, I reviewed the charts for tomorrow's trip and double checked waypoints. After hamburgers for lunch, we went hookahing again – all 4 of us. This time we went to the third mini-atoll near us. It again had great coral and great fish. There were several huge mushroom shaped coral heads that rose 20-25' from pure white sand. It is quite interesting that the white sand makes the coral stand out more. You can see all the nook and crannies - the way coral is piled up and built one upon the other. The funny thing is that with all these nooks and crannies and with a hookah to allow plenty of time for inspection, I still never found a lobster. Maybe the local fishermen get them all. We had sundowners on Salida but returned home for an actual supper for the first time since leaving Bocas. Just as we were preparing to sit for dinner, we witnessed the most amazing sunset with the brightest and longest green flash I have ever seen. And shortly thereafter the tiniest crescent moon appeared just over Salida's mast. A great ending to a great day.
