Matanchen Bay

The peaceful Matanchen bay anchorage was delightful. We met up with friends from S/V Espiritu and traveled by panga up the mangroves estuary. The 6 crocodiles we saw were from age 3 to possibly over 30 years as the older one was at least 8 feet long. Many birds, turtles and iguanas were basking in the sun along the waterway. Swimming in a fresh water spring at the end of the estuary was made 'safe' by a fence to keep the crocs out.
