Isla de San Jeronimo -Punta San Carlos - Isla San Benito



 

Isla de San Jeronimo, we stayed here long enough to explore the island, meet the lighthouse caretaker - Pedro. We actually told him we would be back to see him the next morning. However, we decided to continue on to Isla de Cedros. We will certainly visit this island on the way back. Looks like it would be a good place to fish for White Seabass and snorkeling.
 Village at Punta San Carlos - stayed here for the night

Pirate Duckie is still with us.
Isla de San Benito - we stayed here for a 3 days to fish, explore the island and hike up to "El Faro"-the lighthouse.

The Jolly Roger on their way to Panama. They stopped here to rest and to fish for tuna. No luck on the fishing so we gave them some of the whitefish we caught the day before.
