Snug Harbor

Tuesday 4^th January

Before we left this morning we took the photographs I had taken and printed, over for Horace and David.  Horace seemed pleased with his picture, but David was apparently off up the mountain so we left the pictures with his father-in-law.

We easily caught up with the 2 other boats that left the anchorage before us this morning, and sailed with them to Snug Harbor when we stayed for the night.

Navigating through the islands was a real challenge, there are so many reefs, but the waypoints in the Panama cruising guidebook were excellent, I wouldn’t have wanted to try it without the book.

Snug Harbor was a peaceful quite anchorage between a group of small islands, the water was still, but remained green and murky from the river.  Even before we had dropped anchor the Kuna men approached in their dugout canoes selling fish and molas.  One man was taking orders for vegetables, I asked for Yucca, tomatoes and bananas, I gave him $6 and he said he would bring them by in the morning.
