Rumors of of-color water on the Thetis discouraged anyone from considering a trip there. While there is still decent action for small tuna and dorado about ten miles off outside the Bocas, there are few visitors to care.

Most of the interest is in the arriving whales that can be found cavorting in the bay. The crowds are not as large as some years but there are more and more buses arriving loaded with tourists eager to gawk at the huge mammals.
