Went to Blue Bay Beach today and ate at the Coast Restaurant. Very nice selection of food here. The service was great. We will return. Saw a cool pelican resting on top of a palapa on the beach.

Some great times and memorable nights in Punda. Very happy to have the opportunity to be here for the winter.

The Coast Guard was patrolling outside Mambo Beach area today. Cool looking ship.
