The Isle of Pines pace of life – slow, very, very slow – is clearly rubbing off on me, hence adding this article, from Boat International back in January, now.

Empty beaches, sensational diving, fresh seafood on tap, all from the vantage point of a superyacht…

Now, to bury the lead, that beautiful boat, Masteka II, was attacked by pirates a couple of months ago. Guns and machetes were reportedly pulled out and the captain and guests on the yacht were lucky to come away with minimal injuries. Crazy stuff, by any measure.
