Day 8


We had a relaxing day at sea on Monday, resting, reading and spending time with people.  Intermittent rain squalls passed by and the swells were large resulting in the boat moving quite a bit - up and down, mostly!  But, not a problem.


Seascapes were the order of the day as we made our way down to the San Blas Islands.  We passed the Panama Canal and watched very large cargo ships make their way to and from the canal.  We'll pass through the canal tomorrow.

We also were visited by a pod of dolphins - they are so fast that I only got a few shots, including one through the handrails! A green heron - apparently lost - visited us and stopped long enough to get his picture taken.



One note on the Puerto Limon visit that I forgot - we heard and saw howler monkeys.  Their howl is undescribable and unforgettable!
