Linton to San Blas : September 15, 2012


 
Although we thought our anchorage at Isla Linton would be quiet, it turned out to be a bit rocky with large swells coming in from the sea all night long. We rose early and made a stop on the island which is said to be uninhibited except for Howler monkeys who have taken over residence in the only house on the island. It seems to have been an old research center but by the looks of it it has been many years since there was any real work being done there. We explored the vicinity and Anna spotted a couple of sloths in the tree at the edge of the forest. No sign of the Howlers.
 
We set off planning to reach the Lemmon Cays in San Blas well before dark. It was a windless day, hot and humid. Which meant that as soon as we were anchored we jumped in to cool down and did a little snorkeling. And here we are, back in paradise!
 

Captain's log: left anchor at Isla Linton at 08:48 am and arrived to Lemmon Cays at 16:13. Motored for 8 hours as winds were at 0-5 knots. Total distance travelled: 47.4 nautical miles.
