The day started with breakfast, back at Kembli's. Apparently 6:30 is too early for us, so most of the fried plantains were left. However, the fresh fruit juice was great, and the local eggs and Gallo Pinto will be missed. After some strategy it was off to the boat, where we met our skipper, a rather cantankerous ex-pat. It turned out he was a great guy, just he had overslept.

The snorkeling was awesome. We spent two hours drifting around a pristine bay. We are within swimming distance of Nicaragua since it's just the other side of the bay. Ani spotted the first big find, a nurse shark. Later it was lots of puffer fish, parrot fish, sea urchins and thousands of sergeant majors. At that point it was time to bring in the turtles: two hawksbills and an Indo-pacific green sea turtle. The latter swam all the way to our beach and no-one knows why. But then again, that's why we're here.

After a wonderful trip we all want to thank everyone that helped make it Possible. It has genuinely been incredible.
PURA VIDA!!!!!!!!!!
