Panama Canal
Shelter Bay marina was an enjoyable stay providing us the opportunity to visit Colon and also get Sojourn 1 ready for the canal. From the start we were impressed with how well organised the process of preparing and booking for the canal was. Onno joined us from Curacao to be part of the crew for the [...]

Haul out at Curacao
Time to catch up on the blog. A lot has happened since the last blog but I'll try to cover off on the important points of our cruising adventure.
Back to Cruising
After talking with a Canadian couple moored next to us we headed into town for a look around and sometime to eat/drink. Lots of tourists and the associated shops but still a nice place.
Next stop was Dominican. Dominica had been devastated by a hurricane late in 2017 and was struggling to recuperate. Following the advice of one of the guide books we are using, we used on the local guys to help us pick up one of his moorings and paid accordingly. We visited the fort complex on the headland. Contrasting with most of the town this area was extremely well maintained and showed little sign of damage. Having said this they had obviously decided to not maintain all areas of the complex. We stayed two nights there before heading to Martinique.
