We've been pretty busy for the last week or so, exploring and checking stuff out. We have had several days of kayak/snorkel trips because the sea has been super flat and calm. We've also gone to Playa Wizard several times; the hike has been quite nice now that the rains have stopped and all the mud has had a chance to dry up. Not much more to report. Here's some awesome pictures for you.
(We are continuing to have tablet/internet issues, so please excuse any weird formatting and delays between posts)
Coral... |
Awesome heart-looking coral. |
Needle fish in the center of the picture. |
Dorey-like fish among the red coral. |
Karen's rash guard burn despite putting on sunscreen. In her defense, she was slathered in sunscreen, wore her rash guard, and her hat. |
Wizards beach. The first truly sunny day we've had so far here on Bastimentos.
Our shady hangout on the beach. We had the whole place more or less to ourselves.

Snorkeling off of Wizards. White urchins and tons of fish.
Fish next to a rock. It was real surgey despite being a real small swell. Definitely had to watch ourselves next to the rocks.
Brain coral off of Isla Solarte. Also a fish and sea cucumber.
Crazy coral and fish. This coral complex was big ~10 ft.
These were the coolest fish I have ever seen! Unfortunately the photo isn't that great. They were about 2 feet long and colored vibrant turquoise and dark grey.
Sting ray in the surf off Wizards. This is why we shuffle our feet when walking out.
Kayaking off Isla Solarte.
Goldfish in the coral.
Awesome coral complex. (Photo credit: Wyatt)
Tube worms growing on the coral. They are fun to touch and watch shoot back in.
Crazy colors and shapes of coral.
Purple tube coral.
Hike through the jungle to wizards.
The jungle path had dried up a lot since last time and the hike was much quicker and easier.
When the path is in walkable condition, it is about a 15-20 minute hike from town.
