Stilt Village

Last night we anchored in a great little anchorage. Its completely hidden from view when offshore, with an island more or less blocking the view of the bay. As you pass through the channel between the island and the mainland you see that there is a village on the island, that is completely on stilts. And the bay itself if very picturesque with green jungle covered mountains, and a couple of beaches. There is no development in site other than the stilt village, and a few small fishing boats going in and out.

The water is really warm here -- the thermometer say 92.6 degrees!

Last night may have been the most impressive bioluminescence we've seen. Looking into the water around the boat was much like looking up at the stars. Little twinkling things everywhere--soupy with them. When we stuck a deck brush in the water and swished it around it absolutely lit up. If you've seen the "life of pi" its actually much like that. A bit more dramatic in the movie, but sometimes it is really not much of an exaggeration.

Top of an active underwater volcano about halfway between Terceira and Sao Miguel. Yes, Active. And there is no land in sight. We anchored in 100 feet of water. The dive was between 90 and 110 feet. With sheer drops to amazing depths all around. Outstanding!!!
