A bunch of cruisers from Shelter Bay Marina got together to clean up a section of beach at the intersection of the western most breakwater into Cristobal Bay (Colon) and the mainland. You can walk on the breakwater out to the entrance where the big ships come in, but it's slippery and dangerous, and most cruisers are content to walk the beach or jungle paths. This section of beach chosen for clean up had tons of plastic and debris, refuse from who knows where or when. The crew from the 86' Nordhavn, Cari Ali, organized the endeavor, and even brought trash bags for everyone. Plastic, rubber and trash were bagged by about 20 cruisers throughout the morning, and it's hoped that we have made just a small difference in this beautiful area. Michael's left of center in jeans, gray T shirt, and cap. It's too bad that in so many places ecology and recycling aren't a priority at all. Mother earth and our seas are surely suffering from this oversight.
