Daniel's Bay

Monday, May 27

Woke up bright and early to more sunshine, and the boys headed over to finish up all the crew change stuff with the Port Captain. While they did that I went in search of a shower, and boy did it feel good! The water was really cold, but actually washing with fresh water is the best feeling: so refreshing.

After the paperwork was done the boys got showers too and we picked up some groceries for the next couple of days, since the plan was to sail over to Daniel's Bay, which is about 3 miles west of here.

Very light winds made for a slow sail, but luckily there wasn't much swell. I didn't get seasick, exactly, but I did get a bit of a headache. For my first sail in 4 months, that's pretty good!

Daniel's Bay is absolutely gorgeous--a beach complete with crabs, cows and palm trees; a great ridge with crazy contours bordering most of the bay; goats bleating somewhere in the brush. Aside from the flies, it's paradise. (Luckily they're NOT horse flies, so they don't bite). On a side note, this was the filming location for the first season of Survivor.

Tomorrow we'll hike to the world's 3rd largest waterfall: Vaipo Waterfall.
