April 26th

This was our first and shortest sailing day. After our briefing of the boat and charts and after we finally got our bags, we departed south towards Cay Caulker. This sail was easy with the ENE winds. The depths were between 7-9ft. The water had more swells then I was thinking it would. We had 12 plus knot winds and made 6 -8 mph. The trip from San Pedro took about 2 hours. You can see Cay Caulker from the dock so it is easy navigating. The boat sailed fine which gave the crew enough time to get to know the "ins and outs" of the boat. We anchored on the north side of the pass in about 6ft of water. It had great cover from the winds but required a longer dingy ride into shore and having to cross the strong current moving through the island. I'd stay on the southern side of the pass if I was you. Look for the Red Monohull. We hooked two anchors and went into shore for some local grub. We had Mango Mojitos at a new age looking bar called Paradiso (or something of the sort). It is right on the water. We were able to see most of the island since it is super small and easy to walk. There were plenty of dogs, and locals moving about. I thought this town was better than San Pedro. They are all about moving slow and enjoying life. Here you can grab the things you forgot in San Pedro. Beer, liquor,.....I mean, Ice, and soda. :)
