Don't feed the iguanas [ So the sign said. ]


Out for lunch at the yacht club bar and restuarant [ all right the waterfront shack ] we suffer the baleful stares from no less than 5 hungry iguanas we clearly had their beady eyes on Carol's lettuce.






We also got lucky and spotted the much less common green iguana while we were walking in the centre of the island.




On the way back to the boat we took a trip around the mangroves and spotted a roost of little herons









and some diving pelicans.









The mangroves are also home to a variety of boats in a variety of states of repair. I was offered this one for 'only' $6000 with a solid lead to the sunken mast.
























The windlass is fitted and works OK but the terminals are shorting out on the casing so I need to turn them upside down to give more clearance. I should get it finished tomorrow then we are off to Magens Bay for Christmas. It is supposed to be one of the top ten in the world. Carol says " We'll see"
