In 1961, my grandfather Johan Thorsberg traveled from Sweden to Nicaragua to write an article on the archeological discoveries made on Zapatera Island. Grandfather, born and raised on one of the Baltic islands off Stockholm, was an avid sport fisherman. So, with his mission completed on Zapatera he took a few days off to explore the Isletas of Granada.
Armed with his rod and reel, he heads out early in the morning in a hired rowboat, a fellow named Chepe at the oars. As the rowboat slides soundlessly through the narrow pathways between the lush islands, Chepe points at a shaded shore with a rocky bottom.
