After San Lucas, we had several other stops, but none of them of much interest for the blog. However, Drakes Bay put on a lightning show like we've never seen in our lives. As Dan said, it was like a war zone. It was a night and the strikes were all around us, but not in the bay itself, thank God! The entire bay would light up with some of the lightning. You really wouldn't want to be out in that!!!
From Drakes Bay, we headed out to Isla Canos (pronounced Canyos) as it was reported to be fabulous snorkelling, with the only coral bank in Central America. This is the view of where we day anchored to snorkel. It isn't great holding, so they don't recommend you anchor overnight. Canos is also noted for having the most lightning strikes per year in Central America. Another reason not to stay long!
This is a view of the rocks where we went snorkelling and, yes, my first impression was like yours! "I don't think so!!" However, I lost the vote and off we all went. It was the best snorkelling we've ever done. The water was very clear and we could see at least 30 feet down. This was my first sighting of a shark, and I hope it was my last!!! In the aquarium is one thing, along-side of you is a whole other "kettle of fish"!
Ralph, of course, went ashore after snorkelling. The rest of us were too exhausted.
He said it was a great jungle walk but, as usual, the view point was much farther than he thought and he ended up crossing the entire island. And, he WONDERS why I don't like hiking with him!!
Very tropical, as you can see.
