Our New year trip to San Blas continues. We moved to the popular, and one of our favourite island groups Coco Banderos. We had these beautiful islands all to ourselves! Sadly when we took the dinghy to the beach to enjoy a fish bbq with our friends, we noticed that another troupe of cruisers had enjoyed New Years on Coco Banderos, and had left all their trash behind, including lots of glass bottles. We had no choice but to clean it all up and take the glass and tins home with us! We were very surprised and annoyed, that people thought it would be ok to just leave this trash here... We were however happy that we found it and not the Guna Indians, as it would have painted “us” cruisers in a very bad light had they found it! Please, please, please, always make sure you take home all your trash when visiting the beach. As the saying goes, only leave your footprints behind! After cleaning up the trash, we had a lovely lunch of many different types of fish and salads. The following day our friend Oriel took us on a snorkelling trip. It was great to see so much marine life, and to see the healthy, thriving reef. We were treated to a Catalan Ros Caldos lunch, cooked on board Mokara for everyone, it was simply delicious! All too soon it was time to head back to Linton bay. We had a good steady wind pushing us home. As we had all left at the same time, it did turn into a bit of a race. We were very disappointed when the monohull shot off ahead of us, but later we found out that they had all agreed to also run their engines as they wanted to get home quickly. We hate running our engines, and with great steady winds we enjoyed our sail back. We dropped anchor at around 3pm and got started on all our chores.
