[status] At anchor in Bahia Linao, East Lagoon. Perfect shelter, only accessible at half to high tide. Main bay is full of salmon and oyster farms - not sure whether these are a good thing or not but they do not improve the scenery. We were met by a pod of 6 very large whales as we entered this bay the day before yesterday. Not sure of type - maybe Blue. One came quite close and was definitely wider and longer than Ithaka. It's blow hole was about a foot in diameter. Went for a walk along the shore and then along a very dusty road into the village of Linao. A lot of plastic on the beach and several discarded boats. Plastic flowers adorn every grave in the cemetry. Moving on south today. Would return here, only for the peace and shelter of the east lagoon.
