Sneaking into uncharted waters.

Rain rain go away.

With rain we get rainbows. (Credit to Free Spirit for the photo.)

Free Spirit take a short cut through the shallows.

We finally deploy some sails.

Protected by a spit of land.

The first of many, many visitors.

The legendary ‘Freddie’.

Sticky the stick insect hitches a ride.

Larry finds another waterfall.

Fiona hides in the trees.

What’s so interesting? We are.

A rural idyll.

Iain finds another friend.

Another friend finds Larry.

Parking Bocas style.

The islands ‘superhighway’.

They teach them young.

Did she make it?

Classic Panama beaches.

Mid stomp sugar stop.

The highway takes us all the way home.

Hmmm. Coconut.

The sprawling ‘Punta Alegre’.

Fiona searches for more invading critters.

So many new friends.

One final gift in the Bocas Del Toro.

That’s looking fetchy, almost upwind.

No happy faces before (or during) this passage.

Our route (green) vs our track (yellow).
