From the log

We've spent the last 18 months exploring the Caribbean side of beautiful Panama. This country is very diverse and there's lots to see. So after installing the new generator in August, we left Liward in the marina, and rented a four wheel drive for a four week trip to explore the rest of Panama. Of course it is rainy season so that kept the trip interesting! We drove from Colon across the country to the Pacific, which incredibly only takes about 2 hours. We stopped along the Pacific coast at San Carlos for some surfing and then to Santa Catalina where the World Masters Surfing Championships were being held. Then up to Boquete in the mountains for coffee, river rafting, and hiking. Next stop was Volcan, the highest point in Panama. Back at the Pacific Coast we explored the Azuero Penninsula . Then back along the Coast to Panama City and back to the Caribbean side. Liward was waiting for us in good shape!

    Following along from Houston and loving every update. That shot of the anchorage at dawn is going straight on my wall.

    We crossed paths with you in Bocas years ago and have been reading ever since. Fair winds to you both.

    My grandkids and I look up every island you mention on the map. It has turned into our little geography lesson.

    Twenty years of this and still going. You two are the reason we finally put a deposit on a boat of our own.
