Sailing to Panama - Day 3

Dad got up in the morning, then I got up to go pee, and dad told me to check out the island, there's still people on it. Haha, sure enough, a bunch of them took the dingy back to the boat during the night and left a group of 5 guys on the island, stranded. LOL.

We went back to bed after doing our morning business. When I got up again, as breakfast was being prepared, the 5 guys were on the boat, they ended up swimming back to the boat. I guess the first group left the island around 2am, and told the other guys they'd be back to get them and they never went back, so they were relegated to sleeping on the island. They said it was OK, but it got cold about 4am, they had to keep lighting the fire to stay warm.

Breakfast was bacon and eggs. The bacon was delicious, I just wish I didn't have to share with everybody.

About 8:30 we took off.

We sailed for a few hours to another lovely spot. Hot and sunny again.

We snorkeled again, very nice hard coral and fish here, and I saw a huge reef shark, probably 7-8 feet, which was pretty awesome.

Lunch was delicious, beef tacos and burritos.

The afternoon was spent reading, swimming, napping or playing games (chess or card games).

The captain purchased $100 worth of lobster from local fisherman. The locals on the island we're next to will cook it all up for us and we'll eat on the island.

The coast guard keeps showing up to this little island as well, our captain says they are going there to get beer.

After it got dark, we all hopped into dingy and went ashore and had a lobster feast. It was OK, but lobster certainly isn't my favorite.

After the lobsterfest, we headed back to the boat. Most of the backpackers went to bed early, hungover from last night.
