Approaching San Andres from the North Northeast we had to pass almost the entire length of the island running just outside the reef to reach the only opening. Once inside the reef we then turned back and again ran almost the entire length of the island to reach our anchorage. The reef is on the east side of the island giving us the benefit of the trades, but with a well protected anchorage behind the reef.

We anchored just off Club Nautico, a private yacht club right in the hotel and shopping districts. For just $25 per week we gained access to all the facilities, which include pool, tennis courts, showers, restaurant, WiFi, amongst others. During the day the area around us is busy with tour boats of all kinds and jet skis and such, but as soon as the sun sets it is becomes very calm and quiet. We are sharing this spot with just one other boat, a French boat with a family of four aboard. We took a narrated tour of the island lasting about 3 1/2 hours with stops along the way. The narration was even more beneficial to us after the first stop when we let the narrator know we understood very little Spanish. From then on it was bilingual and he went out of his way for us. It was a wonderful tour and even included a reggae lesson.
