December 25, 2020 After we had dropped the anchor and took a minute to breathe, we greeted some new friends that had been in contact with us via satellite email.

December 5, 2020 It has been 16 months since we first entered Panama from Costa Rica. On the Pacific side we explored many islands before rounding Punta Mala.

September 23, 2020 We quickly adapted to life in Shelter Bay. We rode the bus to Colon to shop and actually had hardware stores as an option! We went on nature walks through the jungle and ended at the beach. We met up with some friends that had been in Bocas and became acquainted with …

Panama Quarantine – Take 4

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By dalesmayberry@gmail.com

July 25, 2020 Six weeks into a stint at the Bocas marina, we were planning a jail break. After waiting and waiting for our solar panels, they arrived….broken! So to address this, and order again, meant several weeks and we had certainly had enough marina life. Even though the authorities had said no movement, they …
