Anchored in Bastimentos, and surrounded by moon jellies at the moment.  There are some smaller guys as well, box jellies and perhaps Medusas.  The stinging quotient is up, so we're reluctant to swim off the boat.  Mostly we get nailed by microscopic stuff floating alongside the jellyfish.

Lovely beach in the low season.  We anchor nearby and take a path through the woods to the ocean side, where there are two resorts- a fancy one and one for backpackers.  The backpacker one's usually more fun- local kids come around to be entertained by the visitors.

We're just hanging in Bocas- we moved a few miles east for the weekend, and it's lovely here, without the water taxis.  There's a small resort nearby with a serious pizza oven- cruisers like to come down on the weekend.  Tomorrow we'll go back, as we have vital provisions coming on the ferry:  cat litter.
