AFter a great sail from Green Turtle Cay, we arrived at Chichime in the San Blas Islands, it is hard to describe the beauty of the islands and reefs. The anchorage is in the middle of 2 islands (small islands) and you would think that you would be subject the wave action but no.....the reefs surrounding the anchorage protect you from the wave action. You do get the winds but that was OK. When we arrived we had 2 or 3 canoes come alongside to sell their wares, one had Molas (Fabric), one had Lobsters and another had bananas. Mike and Doug ended up later that day buying some Lobster for dinner. Carole cannot eat Lobster so only Ken, Doug and Mike had lobster that night.
The next day, we got out the Hookah system and Doug and Mike got in the water and started cleaning the bottom. The Prop need cleaning desparately. After a few hours we had a clean bottom and clean prop...this should make a difference to our speed while underway. We found out that this was the last day for lobster, so Mike and Doug once again bought Lobster for dinner, Ken declined this time. Carole bought a Mola off of one of the girls that came by, the price was reasonable.
