We reached San Blas Islands after two nights and a day of fast sailing. In fact, so fast, that we had to wait for the day light before entering our first charmed bay of the Hollandaise island group. San Blas consist on about 400 little Islands scattered on large area of reefs. Our bay is sheltered from the Atlantic swell, but not the wind, by 2 miles wide reef and 2 Islands, non longer than an 100 meters each. On one island live two families of the Kuna native tribe. On the other, lives only one family. We had meals on both islands. They consisted on rice cooked in sea water and fried fish, delicious! We drank a coconut a-la natural. Our younger crew went to explore the reef and reported about all kind of underwater life.
We are avoiding more populous islands because we are delaying the official entry to Panama.
