First Stop in Panama

21 March 2009 | Punta Balsa, Panama
Brian
We rounded Punta Burica, which is the boundary between Costa Rica and Panama. As we sailed offshore of the point we passed a Costa Rican Coast Guard ship. We were glad that the officials were out keeping an eye on things. Once around the point we headed 10 miles to a small roadstead (a roadstead anchorage means that it isn't really a bay but you may get some sleep) anchorage called Punta Balsa. There were a couple of houses on the beach but nothing else. We could hear howler monkeys in the lush jungle making their at dusk howling sounds. Their sounds make it really seem like "jungle". We had a restful night with good anchor holding and an easy roll. Tomorrow we will wake up early and sail to a small group of lslands called Isla Secas.

About:
Nancy & I have been planning to go sailing for years. We are not ready to retire but decided to take this trip before we get to old. Sailing takes a lot of energy and commitment so we didn�t want to wait until we can�t physically handle the trip. [...]
