Captain Ana Bianca was finishing some projects on her boat while we went into Rio Dulce to buy food and drinks for the trip.  It was a great way to spend some money buying local goods. We bought cheese, meats, fresh fruits and fresh bread.

I have been here before but experiencing the town from the river, where one gets around in a dinghy instead of a car, has made it feel like a totally different place. When we set sail tomorrow Luis the Captain of Hydro-Max will be joining us. Luis’s boat is docked next to Kajaya and they have become close. The Hydro-Max is a trawler with a cabin bigger than some of my New York friends’ apartments.  It should be a great trip, Luis is not only good company but he knows food, in a former life he owned restaurants.  I am really excited to get out on the water.
