Another early rising this
morning, we had more than a half day sail to Cayo Luis Pena and were anxious to
get under way. We had an enjoyable sail,
the winds and waves cooperated nicely.
We found a nice cove that had a private mooring at Cayo Luis Pena and
the empty white sandy beach was calling us.
We all got decked out in our finest snorkeling gear and set out for the
beach. What a wonderful surprise! The snorkeling was by far the best we have
come across since we left. The coral was
gorgeous and the fish were just amazing.
Big, little you name it – we saw it.
Daniel even saw a small manta ray.
We searched and searched for lobsters but came up empty. After we had snorkeled for an hour or more we
made our way to shore and decided to go exploring. We met a man that warned us that there were
unexploded bombs on the island, so we needed to be careful as we explored. Daniel and Tim set off fighting the mangroves
and thickets trying to get to the other side of the island (and probably
looking for unexploded bombs). Blenda
and I weren’t having any part of the mangroves or thickets (too yukky) so we
set back off towards the beach when low and behold we came across a path. We decided to explore the path and it led us straight
to the other side of the island. I
wouldn’t take a $100 for the look on Daniel and Tim’s faces when they emerged from
the thorny path and saw me and Blenda standing on the beach enjoying the view
on the other side of the island! Awesome
day!
