190nm to CAYOS CAJONES


To break up our transit to the Bay Islands we decide to stop in the reef ringed cays of Cayos Cajones (The Hobbies).
Thirty two hours after leaving Providencia we are surprized to see what looks like a cay full of buildings? We were told to expect a couple of caretakers on one of the cays and be sure to take cigarettes and Rum as they like to trade for lobster and fish. Unfortunately it's turned out lobster season is closed causing the "buildings" to appear that are in fact stacks of lobster traps.
Time to do the mainsail repair.

Another beautiful sunset.

We did a bit of snorkeling and exploring. After two days we decide we need to carry on to the Bay Islands taking advantage of the settled weather. We would definitely recommend other cruisers stop in the Hobbies and if we make it back this way we'll make sure it is during Lobster season.
