Siananda and Canoa

Up the river from our boat mooring is another "marina" with bow and stern ties. They are building a bridge between here and there, so they'll soon be out of business...if the economy picks up enough to complete the bridge. Siananda is kind of an animal refuge/retreat. We just loved the turtle line-up.

Spot the turtles!

The place is chock-a-block full of peacocks, but only a couple of white ones.

There are several boats up there and this is Revenir, our sister ship.

These are "Ano Viejos" or paper mache dolls for New Years. They are all over town in the weeks before New Years Eve. They cost from $5 to $30 each. These were on the wharf for the pangas to travel across the estuary to San Vicente and Canoa.

Canoa is a surfing village. Very nice beaches.

We went for a walk to find the property some fellow cruisers had purchased. I just can't imagine buying property and building here. It's overcast most of the time and a very difficult place to get to as there are no airports close by.

This is the panga ride back.


It is quite a ride.
