Next stop was San Andres.  We read it was the island jewel of the Caribbean and it was on our course to Cuba, so we had to stop.

The approach to San Andres looks very encouraging with the clear blue waters.  This may have been the highlight of our visit here.

San Andres is a remote coral island owned by Colombia.  The island lies 470 north of Colombia, but only 150 miles off the coast of Nicaragua.  The only town on the island is El Centro.

We arrived at Nene’s Marina.  Very very basic, but the people were very friendly.

There was barely enough room for Sea Rose.  Nene himself was there to greet us and guide us into our berth with no room to spare.

Nene Marina from a distance, as you can see it is not a very expansive marina.  Nene did fit us in as he promised.  

We had lunch at the renown La Regatta restaurant.

The sign says it all.

We took a tour of some of the original island homes.  

We visited a place frequented by Capt. Morgan during his pirate days.

Ship Jumper?  Is that Teresa departing San Andres by plane and not by Sea Rose?
