Isla Gamez

8 07.754 N, 82 19.074 W

Yesterday we motored to Isla Gamez, a small island off of Isla Parida. Islad Gamez is like a saddle with rock outcroppings on either end and a small sandy beach in the middle. When the tide is high, waves break across the island on this beach. We are relatively alone, except for a few local fishing boats.

Last night, Reg and Phoebe had us over for dinner. I made browning for our contribution for dinner. Unfortunately the first batch were too hard, so I made another batch. These were a little too soft but as I did not have any more packets, we had to settle for too soft. We bemoaned the rolly anchorage at Punta Balsa and hoped that this anchorage would remain calm during the night so we all could sleep better.

During the night we could see lightening and hear the thunder but luckily it did not seem close by. This morning we see rain clouds in the direction we plan to go today. We are bound for Islas Los Secas, which are known for clear water for snorkeling and diving. Of course, this is when there is not a lot of rain and calm waters. So I am not holding my breath.

All is well.
