Isla Contadora. 31st March

A 36 mile motor sail from Balboa to the Las Perlas Islands. After a couple of hours we had enough wind to set the cruising chute which was good - looks like it is going to be a slow trip to Galapagos but the plan is to wait here until the wind looks abit better.
We saw lots of wildlife - pelicans, dolphins and hundreds of dead fish??!!
At the anchorage we picked up a mooring buoy which is apparently not a problem during the week but which are busy with locals at the weekend and enjoyed a much needed swim.
We are looking forward to getting the boat clean after the time in Colon and Balboa and relaxing on the beach :)
