We had now decided to leave the Culebra area and return to Vieques. On the way, “Mark the Barracuda Man”, had a bite. A big one it sounded like. When we pulled up the fish, once again an uneatable barracuda, a big bite was taken from the fish. This was according to Joel and Noah of course taken by a shark!!!
As we where leaving we passed by Punta Mark!!!
Two thirds of Vieques was until recently used by the American Military as ammunition experiment grounds. That is luckily no longer the case and the land has been returned to the people of Vieques. Unfortunately large parts of the land is contaminated by unexploded ammunition and you are not allowed to go on land. When we tried to anchor in the beautiful Bahia Icacos, a gentleman very politely told us to piss off. Since we where hoping to snorkel around a small island with a reef, we disappointedly decided to continue to Puerto Ferron the southern side of Vieques.
