Much better!

Today we moved from out on the eastern reef to a really nice little lagoon on Isla Carenero. The eastern reef was beautiful in a desolate sort of way, but we got tired of whipping around on the end of 200' of chain in 20kts of wind. Now we're in a tranquil lagoon with 25' of water, shielded from the wind, but plenty of breeze to keep us cool. The small island keeps out the waves and chop. Seems like a pretty nice spot.

And as a bonus, on the trip today we went by an island full of pink flamingos! Fay was in awe and shot a bunch of pictures. We'll post them when we get an internet connection. And to top it off, after the anchor was set and we were starting to settle in, a turtle swam up to the boat as if to say "welcome".
