January 29th, 2013, Providence, Colombia
Here are some pictures from our clockwise circumnavigation (by golf cart) of Providence. Providence is even smaller than its sister San Andrés. However, it took us just as long to circumnavigate because we got stuck at Roland’s reggae beach bar at the bottom of the island. First we were distracted by the beauty of the beach and then detained by the 2 hours plus that it took for our lunch to arrive. [It was so delicious that we almost forgave Roland for the long wait.]
- Gayle and Pete in the golf cart.

- Tony and Pete at the lookout; discussing how they would bring On Delay in through the reef.
- A wall of conch shells with a cat in the background.

- A happy swinger.
- Gayle and Roland in the beach bar.
- Just as we were coming into town to complete our circumnavigation, we encounter this herd of cows on the main road. That explains all the cow pies we’d seen on the road earlier.
Fabulous photos! Beautiful beach!
Great photos Jane–the Swinging step-by-steps look especially fun! Did the On Delay get through that reef?
Ah, no. We were not allowed to move On Delay to that part of the island. The port captain wanted all the yachts to stay in the main harbour. (Providence is popular with drug runners, so probably easiest for the port captain to keep all the boats under surveillance in one place.)
And another “a good time was had by all!” post. Keep them coming! 🙂
