Sailing again

25 January 2013 | Isla Debora, Tierra Oscura, Panama

Well, it is only for a short while and only locally, but we are back on the boat and it feels good. We left Discovery Bay yesterday and had a delightful sail across Bahia Almirante to Dolphin Bay where we anchored in front of our friends Will & Sandy's home. We went ashore for dinner with them and Chris, another friend and neighbor of Will & Sandy. We had a great time and then a wonderful night at anchor. This morning we sailed across Laguna Pallos to our island where we tied to the dock. Deb continued cleaning the boat while I changed the oil and filters in both engines. Friends Ken & Vonnie picked us up and we all went to Rana Azul for "pizza in the jungle". We plan to spend the next several days just sailing around the archipelago seeing friends and hanging out. Tomorrow I hope to put the new feathering props on the boat. I will use the hookah to work under water and hang a "diaper" under the hull to catch anything I drop. The depth should be just about right to stand and work on the saildrive. Tonight we are just enjoying a quiet night on our yacht tied up to our Caribbean island. Life certainly is hard!

In the Spring of 2016, we sailed from Bocas del Toro, Panama, to Cuba and back with stops at the Albuquerque Cays, Providencia, and the Cayman Islands. We cruised the South coast of Cuba some and then left the boat for some inland excursions.
