Our first hours in San Blas, Panama begins with a rousing sail in steep waves and 20 knots of stiff breeze. We’re racing friends on @svdelos & @ParlayRevival from one gorgeous island to the next and at the downwind angle we’ve got our code zero poled out to maximize the wind. Racing these big boys is quite the challenge given their size but we’re up for the fun any day! Bill is in his glory powered up in the giant swell and is quite happy to spend his first day in this island paradise doing what he loves most.
Once anchored we’re visited by the local indigenous people, the Kuna, who sell us a couple of beautifully sewn, handmade, intricate crafts. The people govern their land – the San Blas – independently of Panama and their culture is fascinating. We’re happy to interact with this family of mother, daughter & son, who’ve come by on their boat to visit us, so early on in our San Blas adventure.
Bill then works on making the fix to the windless remote more permanent using one of Grace’s small tupperwares. He epoxy’s it closed to seal it and hopes it lasts longer than the ones made for sale which are not designed to withstand the harsh salt water environment.
