Nexus - Isla de Canas



We're currently in a beautiful anchorage behind the Isla Canas on the East side of the larger Isla del Ray, and the water is clear and full of fish, with pelicans diving from above and large fish feeding on smaller ones below. We went for a long kayak a couple of beach walks around the bay this afternoon, and the scenery and wildlife in and out of the water are great. We and one other boat have the bay to ourselves.

This morning before we left Morro Cicique we took a dingy ride over to an adjacent island, Isla San Telmo, to look at a submarine that was over 100 years old, that apparently mysteriously washed up on the North facing beach. I guess given its age and lack of propulsion, it is technically a diving bell, but it was largely intact with large holes rusted through the sides in places, and you could see the interior structure fairly clearly. With the 17 foot tides it is mostly underwater at high tide, but we caught it just before low tide and could climb in it, on it, and wade all around it. Very unexpectedly cool! Its on the north side of the island on the beach at approximately 08 16.85'N;078 50.75'W for our fellow World ARC cruisers!
