Dodging Fish Nets

Still trying to get to Isla Isabela without getting stuck in nets or lines. An incredible density of fishing with all the nets or lines marked with the finest 2L pop bottles ... The fishermen in the pangas are very cheery about the whole thing though. They zoom over to tell us which way to go which is usually successful with a mix of hand waving, Spanish and English. One of our friends just behind us has already gotten stuck on one line.

Despite it obviously being a good fishing area we have not caught anything ourselves yet. One turtle spotted by the children. They are very busy at the bow spotting the float marker for us.
