Islas Secas, Western Panama Jan. 26

From the beach on Isla Cavada, one of the islands in Islas Secas.

Fortuitous through the palms.

We arrived here yesterday afternoon at 3pm. By 5, we were on the beach with the 7 other boats anchored here, having sun-downers.

All are great people! We saw some of them last in Bahia de Caraquez Ecuador, and others in La Cruz or Zihua Mexico! Kind of fun catching up with people again.

Our first sunset in the Secas.

No green flash!


We had a swim, yesterday afternoon, and the water looked to be clear to about 30 feet. However, we're anchored in 50. Going in to shore, it looked very clear. This morning, we're hovering in 25 feet and we can see to the bottom. We're really looking forward to snorkeling here today! The water temperature is 24 degrees here, but during our crossing from Muertos we saw 31! We'll be staying here a few days and will upload photos as the wifi pirating allows.

Jan. 27th

We went for a snorkel today, two separate locations, and found the last to be astoundingly beautiful!! Clear to the bottom and many large and small fish! Boy, are we missing that underwater camera that went missing along with my backpack on the road trip to Quito.
