Isla Perro, San Blas Islands, Panama
We had a tranquil night at anchor off Cayos Holandeses last night. Atlantic spotted dolphins and reef sharks played and fed off the stern of the Sea Voyager until the wee hours. Anchor was weighed during breakfast, and we were off to Dog Island (Isla Perro), another small island in the San Blas Archipelago. Some of us shopped for Molas while others kayaked, or donned snorkel and/or scuba gear to explore the mysteries of a nearby wreck. The wreck is alleged to have sunk some fifty years ago and has proven to be the perfect artificial reef for coral, sponge, spawning fish, and this Pink tipped anemone.
This particular type of anemone attaches itself to hard objects in shallow water and is common in both reefs and lagoon areas. Sometimes called the “passion flower” of the Caribbean, it is the largest in American Atlantic waters.
The afternoon was full of emotion and motion as we made our transit to Cristobal – the port for Colon – our final destination on this voyage. Hasta Luego!
