…because this place deserves its own post. We spent a couple days lounging around this spectacular little island. Being there brought us much joy and happiness. There are thousands and thousands of birds that occupy the island, but we were relieved to discover the anchorage wasn’t stinky. Instead it was blissfully calm – even when the wind blew, the water was flat – and blue, blue, blue; there were rays, billions of fish, and perfect drone material (see bottom of post for Ry’s vid — because if we put it first, you wouldn’t look at the others). We’ll let the photos/videos speak for us on this one…enjoy!

Amazing drone footage of Isla Isabela and Mazatlán – thank you, Ryan, for such incredible effort; we know it takes a lot (understatement) of time and patience to pull videos like this together. Stunning work.

Steve caught two blue footed boobys while trying to fish near Isla. Not fun trying to unhook them.
