We're having a great time exploring the San Blas islands. A few days ago we made a new discovery. The girls were swimming along with their goggles on and I was walking along with them when I saw a sea snake in the sand. I told the girls to get out and we were looking and pointing at the snake, the Kuna people working nearby saw and I motioned them over to ask what kind of snake it was. Immediately shouts of "Pelegroso!" went up (not sure if I've spelled that correctly) and they got a spear and speared the snake, brought it onto shore and beat it to death. We have spoken to several cruisers who have been here for several years and have never run across one of these so apparently not that common.
We've enjoyed swimming, snorkelling, sundowners on the beach and a get together with all of the rally participants on one of the islands. It has been great to relax and enjoy these beautiful islands. We will start heading to the marina near the canal shortly so we can perhaps get a few things fixed before we transit the canal.
enjoying another beautiful day in paradise,
Pauline
