Home to artistic inhabitants, Solentiname is a small island in the huge Lake of Nicaragua.
For some reason, the Solentiname Islands attracted me and I was determined to visit them upon arrival in San Carlos. Since I only had a few hours and there is not so much regular traffic between the town and the islands, I rented a boat with the boatman included. When we left the harbour, the islands were just visible at the horizon of the huge Lago Nicaragua. When we arrived at one island, I walked around, visited a few houses to see the artesanía of the local people, and talked with a paintress who is a master in the typical naive art of the islands. Just as we set out for our return trip to San Carlos, the sky had darkened and a strong wind had developed. I asked a local woman if we would arrive safely on the mainland, she just said, "If God wants so, yes". While we were still going close to the island, it was still more or less OK, but as soon as we left the island behind, we realized how bad the weather really was. We were confronted with savage metre-high waves, with white crests, and our boat was merely a toy of this violent water.
