Monday- Hitting the Big City

01 February 2010 | Panama- Green Island to Nargana
Partly sunny, very warm, moderate breeze, northerly
This is island hopping at it's best with stops available every few miles. Today we moved 9 miles to the big city for groceries, my guess 500 residents at most. Nargana is reportedly the most Western town in all of Kuna Yala (San Blas); some buildings are made of cement, the women dress in regular clothes and there are television antennas everywhere. Their bathrooms sit in small huts over the water and you guessed it have a hole in the floor where your "stuff" goes. The discouraging thing is that they tend to throw their trash out the back door which means it literally goes into the pristine water. We have also started hearing rumors from other cruisers that locals are fishing out the area and don't pay much attention to the shellfish ban during early spring. Maybe someday soon they will wake up and save this beautiful environment. Saw our first Colombian trading boat here today, quite the vessel; power boat about 50 feet long with two decks above water and a tiller for steering!
Comments
Vessel Name: Sunbow
Vessel Make/Model: Chris White Design Atlantic 46 LR Catamaran
Hailing Port: Fort Myers, FL
Crew: John Kremski & Sharon Del Bianco
About:
Although mid-westerners by birth we call the southwest gulf coast of Florida our "home port". John has been sailing since he was six while Sharon is a novice by comparision with only 17 years behind a boat wheel. [...]
Extra: We started cruising full time in November of 2007. It was a rough start with lots of adjustments but after about 2 years we got our "sea legs" for the lifestyle. It´s hard now to imagine any other home than being in Sunbow on the water.

The definition of a "sunbow" is ...... a rainbow-like display of colors resulting from refraction of sunlight through a spray of water...rainbow, moonbow & sunbow!
