At first we are going to go down the West side of Isla San Lorenzo.
Then we change our mind and dash down the east side, trying to find a campground before night.
We fail to find a campsite! The sun goes down, the moon comes up!
Finally we find a berm on the very south end of Isla San Lorenzo that we can camp on.
Launching the next morning to cross back to the main peninsula.
