Barillas El Salvador


We are now in Barillas at Bahia de Jiquilisco El Salvador. This is an estuary with a lot of really healthy mangroves. There was a 4-5 foot crocodile hanging around our boat. These boys appear to be living in the mangroves while they mind fish traps in front. The estuary is quite large with meandering arms of water winding around for miles. It is quite easy to get lost exploring these waterways.
There are so many mosquitos and "no see ums" here it is unbearable. At Barillas they burn coconuts to smoke out the bugs for folks like us at the anchorage. I guess these guys are immune to the effects or just a lot tougher than gringos.
