We woke Monday morning to gray skies. The weather forecast given on the morning net suggested squalls were on their way so we decided to move the boat early. We had around 10 knots of wind but as it was right behind us we decided to motor the 6nm or so to Nagana so we could recharge the batteries on the way.
Shortly after arriving we went ashore to look around. The town comprises two islands joined by a covered footbridge. They are densely packed with kuna bamboo huts, many with untraditional tin roofs. Most of the kuna were wearing western clothing with only a few in their traditional costume. We tried, unsuccessfully, to find bread in the few tiny stores around the town. For those needing a town fix this was about as good as it was going to get.
We stopped off at Nial’s cafe for lunch and a beer. As far as we could tell, it was the only place in town. There was what looked like a bar but it was not open.
We spent the rest of the day relaxing on the boat. This morning the cloud cover looks a little thinner but it is still overcast. This may be perfect weather for a long hike so it looks like we should be on for our outing today.
