12/14/2005 - Cedros Island, Costa Rica

We are only 5 miles away from where we plan to meet the parents for Christmas. We anchored here at Cedros Island a week ago after visiting Tortugas Island enroute from Tambor.. It´s hard to make out one island from the next. They are all very small and close together so lots of short hops from anchorage to anchorage. We are at anchor with our fellow boaters, Paradiso, Mirage, and Aquamarine, all boats we have known since El Salvador. It´s nice to be around familiar cruisers again as it is easy to share information and what not. Whatever you need, if you don´t have it on board, chances are one of the other boats will!

We did some more fishing, and caught this time a Wahoo and another Dorado (mahi mahi).





The weather has been great, 85 degrees and only 2 days held small rain showers in over a month. I am in Puntarenas today at the internet cafe which is a covered tent with a dozen lap tops sitting on card tables. We traveled here today via the car ferry that transports foot passengers from our anchorage near Paquera to the big metropolis of Punta Arenas. We can do all of our provisioning here today, catch up on email and get an eye full of tourists arriving on the cruise ships. So many ways to spend our money, so little money to spend! Ingrid and Steve are arriving for a visit from the 24th thru the 31st. It will be great to be with them for the holidays. Everybody take care and have a happy and safe Christmas! - Cathy, email to cathyannpruette@yahoo.com
