La Mona

We went over to this anchorage for the Full Moon party which was on Sept 23.  We were joined by about 20 other boats.  This anchorage is known for whale sharks and there are buoys set out so you know to slow down when approaching the anchorage.  We saw a pod of about 5 whale sharks one day.  The day of the Full Moon there was a small swap meet and a potluck dinner complete with a campfire and marshmallows.  It was fun to meet some more of the cruisers.  The folks on SV Third Day had a life raft that was 15 years out of date so they let the kids open it and play on it.  It was like a bouncing house on the Sea.  On Friday after the Full Moon party Sylvie from SV Pudditat had a fabric painting session that was really fun.  We actually sat on the beach and watched the paint dry!  When we tired of watching the paint dry JC and I went out for a little fish catching session.  JC tossed the fishing line out and I ran the dinghy.  We caught 5 fish with about 3 pieces of bait. Not bad for a couple of broads.
