This day started out the way we like Sweet 16 days to start: there was a rain blob in the northern sky. It wasn’t shaped like a rainbow, but it had the colours of a rainbow. It was definitely blob-shaped, with one jagged side. Oops – we forgot to get a picture, so here are photos of a drawing of the blob by Grandma (she could use some drawing lessons from her grandkids!) and a blob made by her prism in CanKata’s galley.

| Yes, drawing lessons definitely needed. |
 |
| Funny thing - the colors go the opposite way of the rain blob. |
 |
| It's very pretty when the prism catches the sun. |
Grandpa did a good deed on this day. There was a swamped fishing boat on shore, and he helped rescue it. Lots of people came to help, so it was nice to see that there are so many good people around.

January 16 was also the day of a big “dinghy drift” (where we tie our little boats together and drift around in the anchorage). We had ten boats for this drift, and we had lots of good snacks to share and lots of visiting, but we also had a bumpy drift. The sea had a bit of surf so it wasn’t as calm as we would have liked. But if you would have been here, we probably would have gone body surfing instead! (Remember body surfing in Costa Rica
