Meet Juan T., our neighbor, who invited us to join him for a trip to visit another of his places. He checked the tide tables before we all headed down the mountains, because after we ran out of road we moved from the truck to Juan's canoe...
Juan timed our trip to ride the 'right tides' through the channels, most of which bordered old mangroves inhabited by many species of birds and cute crabs. We saw fish leaping, flies darting and locals swimming, but mostly, I saw Paul's back ;-)
Isn't this place spectacular?
Our destination is finally in sight!
And THIS is the view from Juan's place ... can you imagine having the Pacific right out your front door?:
This is a photo of the estuary where Juan docks his canoe ... once only the tree tops were visible, it was deep enough to get back through the mangroves to the mainland.
