SAILING AROUND THE WORLD WITH SPIRIT OF ARGO

Panama, San Blas Islands, Gorgidup- Chill-laxing!

The human gang had a wonderful time ‘socializing’ in the Cambombia/Nabadup area of the Naguargandup Cays, but it was time for a little ‘CHILL-LAXING’.  So we sailed a short distance to the next group of cays,

The group decided a little ‘deserted island’ suited their fancy, so we chose one just south of Esnasdup to anchor off of.

Welcome to the tiny uninhabited island of Gorgidup!

Sometimes nice things come in small packages.

The cay is tiny but can boast no bugs.  A great place for a walk and to have an evening fire with out any sand fly’s nipping at your heels.

The best part is the island is surrounded by a beautiful reef to snorkel.

Sorry no photos of the reef as the humans have managed to kill the water proof camera.  They did in a computer as well.  Figures they would do this in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.  If you pity me living with these destructive humans, do see the donate button on the home page.

We have all enjoyed a little relaxation here on our own little deserted island, but we have a friends to meet up with on Green Island and St. Patrick’s Day seems an appropriate time to head over there.

So we were going to head into Esnasdup but we were advised that Gorgidup was gorgeous (and it is) but the clincher seemed to be that there were strong rumours of a saltwater crocodile being sighted there. So to ensure we were a little safer than sorry we moved the boat to Gorgidup – which is all of 500 yards across the bay from Esnasdup. Now I am no reptilian expert, and I certainly trust my hosts judgment, but as I was swimming (slowly compared to a croc of course) across the deep water towards the island and peering into the never ending blue I could not help but think that a croc would surely think nothing of swimming the 500 yards across on the promise of a decent ‘snack”!
