We did a dive today with the pros--Nancy & Ginny (Willow); they speared 3 fish. We followed and watched--the landscape is incredible--30ft. was the deepest we went. To think the fishermen free dive that and more every day. Yesterday was a rest day--Michael made another loaf of pressure cooked sour dough bread. We also had home made pizza for our shared meal with Willow! They brought the grouper, I made conch fritters with the first conch we harvested. We boiled the meat out, since we want to make a horn we can blow from this one--a nice 10.5" specimen. I also made chocolate chip cookies- we're not suffering out here at anchor. We're waiting for this cold front to blow through. This is late in the season to get such northerlies. The wind and waves would be OK for us to go; we just don't want the squalls and thunderstorms it will generate toward the Panama coast. We'll be able to reprovision and get a phone chip when in Bocas del Toro- about 170mi. from here, which should be an overnighter. Can't think of a more beautiful place to wait!
