As we work our way down the coast, we’ve been stopping in some pretty cool little places.
Our last anchorage was close to the town of San Blas, and we took a panga up the river to the mangroves and estuary there. The 4-hour tour took us and friends on s/v Journey and s/v Kist up the river, through croc territory, and then stopped for a nice swim and lunch break at a swimming hole (fenced off from the crocs!).

Looking forward from the panga -- we were the first boat up the river, so the waters were completely still

Our first spotting of a croc -- this one was a baby, the guide thought about 4 years old -- but still scary looking!!!

A BIG croc hiding in the grass -- we got so close to him that he started hissing... then with one big SNAP he disappeared into the river

Another big croc -- this one couldn't care less about us. He kept one wary eye on our panga, but didn't budge from his sunny little spot

Jon thought it was crazy to take a picture of a dilapidated boat -- but I looked at this and saw one of the photos from my last Vision card (pretty close at least). This is the beautiful pool where we swam at lunch
