Blue Coconut

After a quiet Sunday just hanging around town and the condo we are up for a little more adventure.  We decide to spend Monday afternoon at Blue Coconut.

We start with a water taxi ride from Bocas Town to Blue Coconut located off the island of Solarte.  We have a good view of boats in the bay and portions of the islands along the way.  Fifteen minutes later we are pulling up to one of the docks of Blue Coconut, an over-water restaurant / water sport area.  Captain Willie charges us $10 each for the round-trip and promises to pick us up at 3:30pm.

All of the lounge chairs are in the sun and we are looking for some shade.  I will look like a lobster if I spend a lot of time in the sun!  There are plenty of open tables in the covered restaurant area, and that's where we settle in.  William downs a Balboa (one of the brands of local cerveza's) and I sip a white wine while we contemplate the menu.  We try the deep-fried macaroni and cheese as a starter.  The three balls which arrive 15 minutes later hit the spot.  William decides the location calls for a blue drink and orders a Blue Coconut, their signature drink.  Memories of our family members having blue drinks at the seaside bars in Olon, Ecuador flood back.  Good times.

The water hammocks call to me, so I try one out - swinging back and forth for a half an hour.  The sea is warm and the bottom is mostly sandy.  There are hundreds of small fish swimming around and past the hammock.  I think about grabbing snorkeling gear and making my way over to the nearby coral reef, but am still hungry so lunch wins out.  While I am drip-drying I walk around the docks and notice the star fish sitting along the bottom.  What fun!  I try taking a photo, but of course the waves distort the image.  If we return to Blue Coconut I will definitely do some snorkeling as well as lounging and eating!

I order the lobster cakes and William orders the Cajun fish filet for lunch.  Both are good, but the location makes them seem wonderful.  As we dine we are entertained by people on stand up paddle boards (SUP's).  One of the owner's dogs is fond of SUP's and enjoys going for rides.

At a few minutes before 3:30 Captain Willie reappears in his boat and taxi's us back to Bocas Town.  We will highly recommend Blue Coconut to people we meet, and may make a return trip out there before we head home.

Blue Coconut looks like the place to be but I'd like to see video of Anne getting into and out of the hammock.
What was in the blue drink?
