Saturday May 1st
Cayos Albuquerque is like an atoll, two small islands surrounded by a ring of reef. Yesterday morning we threaded our way trough the coral heads and found an uncomfortable anchorage, thinking to move further in after exploring with the dinghy. The weather was against us as it was blowing 25 knots with squalls coming through so after a couple of hours we reversed course and left. The islands are really beautiful with pristine white sand beaches. On one island there are 10 Columbian military guys and on the other a group of fisherman who spend there days diving and fishing.
We came hard on the wind and had a bumpy trip up past San Andres (we heard that it is not a good place to stop) and continued on to Providencia where we finally anchored off Morgans Head just as it got dark. A long day! tomorrow we will explore the island before pushing on up north.
