The south anchorage at Isla San Jose is a large bay, with open exposure to the west. Since the forecast looked very calm for the night, we decided to head there for the night. In particular, we’d like to explore the mangrove jungle with dinghy, highly recommended by the guide book.

Beautiful open anchroage at Isla San Jose



Isla Cayo lie to the west of the anchorage.

To enter into the Mangrove channel, we had to bring the dinghy through the entrance, which is very shallow with rapid current. We had to abort our first trip in the afternoon, due to the ebb tide. Luckily we were able to make it the next morning, when the tide was flooding close to maximum. Quite an unique experience.
