Green Island Freshwater Well
9° 28.9′ N · 78° 38.2′ W
Green Island has a freshwater well ashore, a rarity among the outer cays, useful for rinsing and laundry; it is one of the larger islands in the central San Blas and good for a walk.
Practical
Position is Spirit of Argo's anchorage, 09°28.858'N 078°38.237'W, 10 m sand, good holding but poor visibility (March 2016); land on the nice beach and ask the caretakers before using the well. Spirit of Argo noted the well and suggested it for laundry; treat any well water as non-potable unless filtered (Toucan Discovery: island water is non-potable). The anchorage to the east gets a better breeze in light airs. Covered by the Holandes/Nargana 30-day anchoring receipt (2018).
