Everything on the Boat is Broken so We're Walking Away from our Problems (Calico Skies Sailing 130)

We are breaking down on Calico Skies but being anchored in ‘Hot Tub’ (called so thanks to a weather phenomenon occurring in the summer when the water heats up) San Blas, things could be worse! We’ve been working our way through the beautiful island group here in Panama and have exploring, diving and beautiful beaches to distract us from the broken water maker, batteries, dinghy (holes) and alcohol stove (which isn’t broken but is filled with diluted denatured alcohol which we grabbed mistakenly in Bocas del Toro when provisioning).

We tucked into this calm spot with good holding after navigating the coral reefs that surround it’s entrance and have discovered a peaceful paradise. Turquoise waters and white sand beaches abound. After ‘borrowing’ water from our buddy boat s/v Delos we hit a new beach and enjoy a snorkel with our friends. Later we have a bonfire with Brian, Kazza & Nugs plus new friend Plucky from Sailing into Freedom.

We grill fish over the fire and bring homemade pitas and guac – painstakingly prepared on our slow stove! The highlight of the evening is grilled fish EYE which Bill tries to get down but ends up gagging on.

The next day we’re back on Calico Skies and burning amps to make salty water. We discuss power usage and water consumption rates and explain what’s going on with our water maker, namely damaged water membranes.

After doing laundry over on Delos – Buddy Boats for the win!- we head back to the beach and Grace dives a phenomenal spot and sees squid for the first time, all hanging out in a row together. There’s other new sea creatures too and even though the snorkel mask is also broken it’s still a fantastic experience.
