with SV Windarra who are heading to Chile
Beautiful sunset at sea
The paddle steers the boat with just the wind

Our anchorage was around the other side away from the village
Just outside of Panama City
That's a lot of red blips!!
Called the "Dubai of the Americas"

La Playita is another anchorage good in north winds; but the speeding pilot boats mean you can get pooped at anchor.
High priced option
Festooned for Christmas
