This is a view of our anchorage at Cayos Cochino. It is beautiful and calm here. It is very protected from the easterly trade winds. You do get the occaisional williwass a wind that comes down the mountain in short but heavy blasts. The anchorage here is our favorite of all the anchorages so far. Cayos Cochino is a a magical place.
At the top of the ridge on Cayos Cochino there is a lighthouse and the veiw from the top is spectacular
The jungle trail that leads up to the lighthouse on Cayos Cochino is narrow and quite steep in a few places. In some places it is hard to tell which way to go. We did not get lost but we did have to double back one time on the way down when I took a wrong turn into a dead end.
JD enjoying swimming with the fish

Just one more beautiful fish--they are all around you

A frequent sight when diving and snorkling
Just another example of the beautiful fish and coral here. Scenes like these are easily seen snorkleing too
Yes fins are a pain to put on but I do better sitting in the water at the shoreline.. Notice JD is ready to go and waiting on me

This is a swim thru at the Lions Head sight just off the point of Cayos Cohino
