After a relaxing sail up the coast Kokomo and Rocinante are anchored side by side in a pristine little bay that could remind you of the Puget Sound if not for the dug out canoes and out houses that hang over the water. Last night we had dinner on Kokomo with Rocinante and played a little music to finish the night. thanks to Vicky I was enticed to bring my guitar out and join Larry and Joe. for me it was a lesson that will help me improve my skills. For the people living on the beach it was a few hours of music entertainment as the to pros exchanged songs and all within ear shot got an unexpected concert. we all had fun and soon retired as a new day of travel will come with sunrise. Lobster, fish, brownies and music.
Life truly is good on Kokomo

It occurred to me that we have moved a few chapters in the Panama cruising guide. For those of you that have it we just spent two wonderful nights on page 181 there is a photo on page 179. We are in the west anchorage. Today we are moving to Laguna de Bluefield, page 174. I shot my spear gun 3 of 4 times yesterday. The fish I want to spear got as big as they are by avoiding spear fisherman like me. How can a fish so smart as to avoid my spear gun be stupid enough to eat fake food. We will troll today and hopefully will have fish for dinner. Light NW winds and flat seas should make for a peaceful day. Nock on wood.

Happy fathers day to all dads reading the blog. and a special fathers day wish to my Dad, Step dad (thats you Stan), two brothers and brother in law. May today be special for all of you. for me I get to spend the afternoon cleaning the bottom of the boat. we are anchored in a great little bay and the weather could not be better for swimming so I will take the opportunity to clean. we also walked the beach , met a great family that lives on this island and smorkled the reef for a few hours. tomorrow we sail abourt 30 miles to the next anchorage. I'm looking forward to a nice short day sail.

I try not to complain about bad sailing days but the past 30 hours included a 24 hour period where we only covered 91 miles. AWt times we had a 3 knot current against us and the motor was on most of the time. We were faced with light winds and lightning and had a hard time making any headway. We are now anchored in a nice bay that is open to the ocean. I hope the winds don't start blowing tonight. We are anchored right next to S/V Rocinante. Larry and Vicky are from Seattle and we have been spending time with them the past week or so.

This is Fort San Fernando. Below is a short video.
We are off this morning for Bocas del Toro. It should take 24 hours to get there.
