Its only taken me a week to get these photos on the blog but we've made it to Panama. We decided to get an agent as they supply the lines and tyres for the transit and do all the legalities, paperwork etc. We have been measured and already have our date for the transit which is going to be on the 14th of April.
We are leaving the marina tomorrow to go up the Chagres River with our friends and then come back to the marina a few days before our transit to do some more provisioning which is daunting, I have already spent 700 dollars on food and still have a lot more things to buy ! Arrrhh .. James will be going through the canal with two other boats as they are going to come through with us as line handlers otherwise you have to pay 90 dollars per line handler. If you are interested in watching us go through there is a live web cam you can watch I will find out the details and post it as soon as I can !

Having a great time with our friends David and Doreen and Graham and Pheadra from Nakesa ! I don't think it can get any better !

Finally we have a catch from that new fishing lure we got for a christmas present from AUS ! Thanks mum and dad x

We took our dinghy up the Rio Diablo in the San Blas hoping to see some crocodiles and monkeys, Unfortunately we didn't spot any just lots of birds and mango trees oh and the locals going to collect water !

The locals of the San Blas Islands are called Kunas most of them live on there own little sand island, 1 per family they make there money by selling beaded bracelets and the traditional molas which are worn by the women, so much work goes into them, I managed to get three and all of them are beautiful.

Well we have made it to San Blas after two nights at sea from Santa Marta Columbia, This part of the journey was the one I wasn't looking forward to, Big seas and strong winds, We had about 41 knots and 5 meter waves, IT wasn't very fun at all, James and Martin did all the night watches, I was a bit scared to be honest I would sit in the cockpit on my own making noises as we speed down each wave !
Poor Nakesa nearly lots there dinghy , there epirb went in the sea and they lost a few pieces of safety equipment ! They didn't even get a phone call from falmouth coastguard until the next day to see if every thing was oK ? ?
We had a great experience in Columbia, We took a road trip to Cartegena for a couple of days and stayed in a lovely Hotel Casa Gloria it was such a beautiful place to visit, I would recommend it to anyone. We were going to sail there but with all the checking in and out and custom fees, we decided against it. Martin has sadly left us , he managed to get to Panama via a little motor boat in the san blas so hopefully he has made his way home ?? We hope to hear from him soon x
