Isla de Afuera, Panama

We left Rio Santa Lucia and the Isla de Afuera yesterday, tried our best to sail but there was so little wind even the spinnaker couldn't move us beyond 2.3 knots. We arrived in a tiny, incredibly beautiful, pristine, quiet Bahia de Muerte in the afternoon just as a squall hit us. We were able to put up the awning just in time to do a little collecting of rain water, then snuggled into the warm embrace of Sidewinder's belly for the evening. David gassed up the generator, and we even watched a cowboy movie called Appalosa with Spanish subtitles (a great way to practice some Spanish). The movie is not one we will ever want to see again, but the experience was quite fun for us; we have only watched one movie since we left home! The peaceful morning greeted us, and although we could spend some fun time here just exploring the jungle, we are moving on to Bahia Honda. We will keep in touch.
