We stopped in Choluteca to drop off Rebekah who was going to Tegus to pick up a new intern that´s coming in, and we picked up Osman, who was to accompany us on our journey to Isla Amapala...we finally made it to the port where we were to board the boat to the island...the boat was quite small and scary looking, but we all piled in...The boat driver handed us life jackets, which we gladly put on...So, we rode through some smooth waters and were having a nice time for about 15 minutes, then the waters became very choppy as it started to rain again....the rain didn´t last too long that time, though...we we chopped for about an hour to the beach that we wanted to go to, Playa Negra...however, it was very choppy and stormy near this beach, and the waves kept tipping the boat and it was too dangerous to get close to shore...By this point, the boat was filling with water, so we gave trusty Nathan the bucket to start bailing water out of the boat...turns out, Nathan isn´t so trusty, as he threw the bucket out with the water, so, in the midst of wind and waves, we went back for the bucket in hopes that we wouldn´t sink...we got the bucket, and made it to another beach, Playa Grande...by the time we reached sore, we were all a bit queasy...but we made it alive!!!
