19 January Cayo Lenas

We arrived at Cayo Lenas a few miles to the north of Los Morros mid morning and motored through glassy seas into the Canal los Barcos a secure and protected anchorage amongst mangroves. It was just as Navionics showed on the chart plotter and plenty of depth. Waiting inside were our friends, Linda and Chris on Mon Ark who had arrived a day earlier having taken the shallower inside the reef route from Cayo Levisa.

Because we had bread to give to them and they had lobster for us, because both boats had dinghies stored for passage, because we were only staying here until dusk and because there was no wind we rafted up to them. Polly immediately jumped ship to explore a new boat. She's a cheeky cat.

Then at 4 o'clock we let go the lines and headed off to the Cape.

We rafted together in 4m of water at 21.55.20N 84.49.31W.
