I always wondered why Robinson Crusoe had to wear goatskin clothing on a desert island. Turns out Defoe moved the site of the story from 32 degrees latitude South in the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean. As you can see from the pics, the true island is cool, forested, and foggy.
We were unable to land as the sea was too rough, but some locals came on board to meet with us. They are beautiful people, sort of a mixture of Chilean/Polynesian. The men all had long hair, halfway down their backs. Sorry, no pictures were allowed!
