What a beautiful place to be. We dinghied to Panamarina, (N09º36.86 W79º36.67) through a mangrove tunnel; very cool. Boats are stored in rows on moorings. The French couple tending for the owners who are away for a few months are very helpful. They have a washer/dryer; internet (we didn't do too well--the ethernet connection didn't let us get to many sites, and it's VERY slow), and a restaurant that serves a variety of dishes.
We've enjoyed the company of Kirk, a solo sailor going around the world on his 30' Alberg, 'Salsa'. (www.sailingsalsa.com) We've also dinghied over to Isla Grande, (N09º37.6 W079º33.9) a beautiful island that only comes to life when the rich Panamanian's come for holiday or the weekends. We've not had much luck fishing...but we know this is a popular area to catch some big ones. The water is clear...we've yet to go snorkeling, but we swim by the boat every day. The rain is unpredictable--thunder & clouds roll in, then it can be clear the next minute. Always small projects to work on---and of course reading; the book exchanges are wonderful.
