We arrived here in the beautiful San Blas islands on Thursday morning during a break in the clouds. It was one of the most beautiful places we’ve sailed into to date. But, the weather has been cloudy and rainy ever since. Yesterday was squally with strong winds and rain all day. We never even left the boat and had to raise the dinghy because it was bouncing around so much. Weather forecasts have the winds easing some in the next couple of days, but there is still a 30% chance of rain during the next couple of days.
So what have we been doing during this time? We have done a few chores on the boat, read books, swimming, watched some movies, played board and card games, played computer games, and when the weather has been clear enough we have taken the dinghy to nearby islands and reefs and explored. We found one island has some banana trees, but we’re not sure whether the locals would allow us to pick any. Tonight there is supposed to be a cook-out on the aptly named BBQ island with the boats anchored in the area. We’re really hoping the weather stays clear enough for the cookout!
Hopefully we’ll get some clear days here, because I really want to take some pictures – especially kite aerial and 360 panoramas. Wish us luck for some good weather!
