Tender at the Isle of Pines

After arriving at the Isle of Pines early in the morning, the first tenders (that's the boat in the picture) left at around 8 am in the morning for the five minute journey to the island.

The week before the previous cruise hadn't even been able to stop at the island because of very strong winds and rain, which presumably made the tender journey unsafe - and the island not a particularly enjoyable place to be on.

However, during our trip it was glorious hot sunny weather, and the tender boats ran all day at 15 minute intervals in both directions.
