Lemon Cays

We are currently in the Lemon Cays where there are hoards of other boats anchored. Today we will cross over to Porvenir and sign out. Tomorrow we will head off down towards Colon and stop at Linden Island that is 40nm down the track. We will spend the night and maybe a day before moving on to Portabella a further 20nm down the coast.
The Lemon Cays are popular as it has a little bar on the one island that is popular for people to meet with other boats. Yesterday we were there and met up with a few other boats from Australia. The chief's daughter had her 7th birthday and they celebrated that with all the yachties gathered there. They had been grilling a large section of hog that they cut up and served with a potato dish ice-cream and cake all on the same plate. Lovely ice-cream as long as you ate it first. As they say.... life is uncertain eat dessert first!!!
Everything on board is good ...we have hardly made a dent in any of our supplies. We have had lots of fish and when we have not caught them we have bought them from the Kuna's in their canoes. We bought two lovely bonita/skipack the other day (US$5) and invited our friends on Toucan to join us for dinner. Had a wonderful evening with them and they also brought some very tasty salads to share. That's what is great about getting together and sharing food... there are such great and tasty dishes that get shared around.
That's it for now... catch up from down the coast somewhere...till then
