Up to my ass in alligators

Well, these alligators are actually  crocodiles. Joe and I took a tour through the mangroves in a panga. It is better to do it that way then to take our own rubber inflatable to go find some crocodiles with really sharp teeth, that just doesn’t seem prudent. This one is about 8 foot long

The biggest one we saw was about 12 foot, it disappeared in the brush before I got a chance to take a good picture. There were a ton of interesting birds as well.

Tomorrow we are taking off for Isla Isabella, a little island about 45 miles outside of San Blas and a bit like the Galapagos, you can get very close to the birds since they just don’t think that people are a concern.


About Arjan

I was born in Holland and moved to the US in my early 20's I settled down in San Francisco and started a plumbing company. After sailing the San Francisco Bay for years i took my Newport 33 "Tiger Beetle" down to Mexico in 2000, I really liked the cruising life but Tiger Beetle was not the right boat and I decided the build a catamaran. I launched RotKat in 2006 and sailed her down to Mexico with the Baha Haha in 2009.

    Next thing I know you’ll be in some other country swimming with piranhas or trying to tame a cobra. Getting in to living on the edge, aren’t you? Nice pics.

    @deb I saw one just like your profile picture pretty cute.
    @Ariane, i can see going for another country but I’ll pass on the Piranha, unless it is properly prepared and on a plate
