A MAN A PLAN A CANAL PANAMA

Spell that backwards, Alice!
The San Blas Islands are part of the Kuna Yala autonomous area, part of Panama but governed independently by the Kuna people. Untouched by modern development, the Kuna exist by selling coconuts for export. The reefs here are the healthiest that I've seen anywhere in the Caribbean. Our guidebook states that they don't like having their photo taken, so alas, no photos.  Our guest Steven Friese has departed after 12 days aboard and we had a great time.
An overnight sail brought us from the San Blas Islands to Colon at the northern end of the Panama Canal.
We are now running a few errands and preparing to go through the canal.
900 miles from Puerto Rico to Panama

Tuna caught on a custom lure made from a granola bar wrapper, yellow zip tie, and electrical tape


One of two Mahi Mahi Steven reeled in on our handline.
