Isla de Provedencia

Saturday we were anchored off Isla de Provedencia, a Columbian island little visited by tourists.  It has the third largest barrier reef in the world, plus much other natural beauty.

Snorkeling was our morning adventure, and we saw many beautiful fish at the reefs, a small shark and a manta ray.  What I conclusively demonstrated to myself was what a landlubber I am - I am quite a bit more comfortable on land than the ocean.
But a wonderful day with sun and wind and beauty.  We started off with another pod of pintail dolphins about 6:30am and - while approaching the island - watched the incredible frigate birds eat seafood while not entering the sea!
The flowering fruit is Noni fruit, apparently incredibly nutritious and originally brought to the Caribbean as food for the slaves - cheap and full of energy.

Here's a few pictures from the day.

Tomorrow we dock in Puerto Limon, Costa Rica, and go directly to a sloth sanctuary, which should be fascinating.
