Flamingo Bay

Flamingo Bay is several miles north of Tamarindo.  We took a bus there with several friends from the condos.  It is a beautiful place where you catch a catamaran that takes you out on the Pacific Ocean for an afternoon of sailing.

 



I carefully planned what I was going to take on this trip.  I decided to take my old camera since we were going to be on a boat on the ocean for the whole day.  As it turned out this was a mistake.  My old camera did not work well and I only got twelve pictures.  Plus, the boat was extremely stable, although fast, and there was no fear of getting the camera wet.  (I have used some of Mike Nuyens  pictures for this blog.) We all got on the catamaran  and set sail through a maze of small islands...

...and through some beautiful coves.



There were actually three catamarans that sailed together.  Ours was called the Lazy Lizard.

We passed by this one small island that was solid rock with a flowering tree growing on it.

 

We anchored in a small cove where we were able to use the kayaks.



 

We also snorkeled.

They fed us and gave us all of the drinks we wanted so it was a very “happy” trip.  Gail did her Titanic pose although she never let go of her cuba libra.

 

The very best part of the day was being on the boat at sunset.

 

The low flying whispy clouds looked amazing.

 

You could actually see the setting sun and the moon and Venus  all at the same time.

It was a beautiful, relaxing day.
