No cars or streets in this island. Here's Jenee strolling down the main drag on Barranca. Absolutely the nicest people here - non tourist spot.
We just landed after 2 days from Providencia in a little island off of Hondoras called Guanaja (wah-na-ha). Cool island with a Venice style island capital - Barranca. Here I am in a German run bar off our anchorage. We had a great meal of German sausage, spetzel (sp? - pasta) and sauerkraut.
During the sail up the winds blew the clew apart so we lucked out by running in to s/v Kokapelli and Liz's Sailrite sewing machine. Liz set Jenee up and she went to town repairing the sail - nice work.
I usually don't take pictures of historical signs and cannons, but here's one now. I forgot what it said, something historic.
We left San Blas and beat hard for 2 days again. 30 kt winds with gusts higher. Waves at 6 feet plus. We needed a break so we pulled into Isla Providencia off the Nicaraguan coast but belonging to Columbia - go figure. This island is famous as a hangout for the pirate Henry Morgan who lived off Spanish Galleons a few hundred years ago. That's Jungle the furthest on the left and that break in the hill above is called "Morgan's Ass". Pirates are funny.
