We spent Tuesday night at Gunboat Cay. We were alone, for a perfect evening, soft tropical breezes, starlight sky with no light pollution. There we no bugs, so I stayed in the cockpit and watched the starlight sky for hours. No rain squalls, no buzzing boats, and no worries, all alone in the Caribbean Sea of the Kuna Yala.
Wednesday we got up and motor sailed to Elephantes off the West Lemon Cays. We had heard there was internet so we had a mission. We elected for the north entrance to the lagoon rather than the closer South entrance. We had to wait for a squall to pass for visibility but once inside we had anchor down quickly, fired up the dinghy and went ashore. They had wired internet so we hooked up and did some banking which we needed to do, and looked at the kids blogs because we hadn't seen them in a while and were rewarded with new grand baby pix.
Thursday morning we sailed to Nargana. We actually sailed the whole way which is not usually the case but the winds cooperated. I hope this will be a more common experience now that we are in the Caribbean. Enroute we participated on the local SSB net and got to talk to "Eyes of the World" These are the folks that helped us transit the canal. They were on the Pacific side of Panama but heard us well on the local net. Also Sunnyside up copied us from Bocas Del Toro. We had first met them in El Salvador, and most recently for a brief encounter hear in the Kuna Yala before they moved on.
We may see them again in the Western Caribbean.
We expect Kokomo here in Nagana later today
