THURSDAY 18th JANUARY 2007 – NOON
POSITION: Anchored off Jicaron Island, Panama.
NEWS:
Firstly we must apologise that the tracking is not working on our website. We have been working on it but so far no success so bear with us.
We continued along the coast of Costa Rica all yesterday with numerous fishing boats all around us. The Sports fishing boats went home at dusk only to be replaced by the commercial guys who we believe fish for shrimp at night. They have little regard for the rule of the road so the night was spent dodging them from time to time.
Our ETA in Panama was to be the middle of the night so we slowed the boat down and this morning stopped here at Jicaron Island to kill a bit of time and have a snorkel. We will leave again around 1400 so that we arrive first thing in the morning.
After our fish yesterday we took the lines in and only started at daylight this morning. We were soon rewarded with two Skipjack tuna which we released and as we did not want to catch any more we again left the lines in.
