Yay! We’re finally in the San Blas. We finished the over night crossing not seeing much except a double green flash and a sail fish swimming next to our boat. We spotted land at about 7:00 AM and strained our eyes to see the tiny islands of the Guna Yala (the Guna nation(also known as the Kuna). As we got closer, Mom, Roberto, and I stood on deck to help dad maneuver around the reefs. When we got into the calmer waters, I actually had to sit down because I had land sickness. We anchored in sand about two hours before Azonic, our buddy boat for the trip, came and anchored straight on a bunch of mountains of coral. His chain literally rapped itself around one of the smaller mountain and we had to help him get off the next day. We swam the rest of the day and had a delicious lentil soup for dinner. We are now on an island right across the channel and closer to the town. Tomorrow we will head north.
