On the move

It's Sunday morning and we're on the move. After we finish our morning coffee we'll raise anchor and go through the Short Cut and over to Twin Creek. The Short Cut (aka The Gap) is really a beautiful cut between Isla Solarte and Isla Bastimentos which will take us from Hospital Bight to Bahia Almirante. With the dense jungle like foliage on the islands I keep thinking we'll hear the roar of the howler monkeys but as these are island all we hear are the parrots. No monkeys here. It will take us about an hour or so to get to Twin Creek where we'll set anchor and dingy over to see Barbara on Astarte. She just returned from a month long trip to the states and her propane tanks are empty. We'll pick them up from Barbara and return to Bruadair, raise anchor and continue across Bahia Almirante into Dolphin Bay and through another narrow and winding cut into Buena Vista (aka the Dark Lands) where we hope to fill our propane tanks on Monday.

That's the plan anyway, what actually happens will be another story. I'm motivated to troll a fishing line behind us on this trip, the huge cobia that was hanging around our boat for several days got me to thinking how little fresh fish we've had this year. We need to change that.
