Clearing in to Panama
31 January 2011 | Isla Porvenir, Kuna Yala, Panama
Yesterday we sailed to Isla Porvenir and cleared into Panama. We anchored off the islands of Wichubhuala and Nalunega (every island has it's tongue twisting name) and took the dinghy in to a very good dinghy dock near the airstrip. The fee, US$ 193.00 for Customs and Cruising Permit (1year) and US$ 30.00 (Immigration). Our arrival date was not questioned and there were no extra fees as rumored for the Kunas (a $US 25.00/month fee).
