We're in the San Blas Islands

We are so excited to be in the San Blas Islands. We have been looking forward to this for months. Every time someone would ask us where we were heading, they would always say, "you're going to love it". On our way here, Denny caught a Baracuda fish. It was about 10 lbs. long and skinny with some nasty looking sharp teeth. Jim & Connie are going to help us eat it. The Island of Porvenir is small, but it has a port captains office, a small store and a small airport runway. It says in the cruising guide book that sometimes cruise ships stop here, but they don't let everyone out at the same time because they wouldn't all fit on the island. That's how small this island is. Right as we dropped anchor, two dug out canoes with two women and a small child came to our boat to sell us mola's. They were beautiful. I gave the two small girls a beanie baby, they smiled from ear to ear!
