But enough about traffic.........the ride to the Pearl Islands was about 2 hours. We made 2 stops at other islands before we got to our beach. On the way there, the boat slowed to a crawl, so we all jumped up out of our seats to see why. What we saw before us was way too kool. There was a super pod of dolphins crossing in front of us, so we slowly cruised thru the thick of them. We could see them swimming right along side us, in front of us, behind us, etc. hundreds of them. We were so excited to see them, that unfortunately the pics did not come out so well.

After reaching Isla Contradora, we went walking but the hilly terrain caused us to turn back and stay at the beach where we landed. It was a nice beach, with a bar/restaurant just up the hill. We lounged around in beach chairs drinking cervazas until one of us got a little sunburned. Oops, I am hurting now!
The ride in the morning was smooth as glass. The ride coming back was choppy with 3 to 4 foot waves. Whoo-hoo, but it didn't help trying to convince Jan to get a 43 foot sailboat to live on......
