Remote living on the cheap: Together in paradise and on the hook (Calico Skies Sailing Ep. 126)

The first cluster of beautiful islands we explore in San Blas are featured on the cover of our guide book – And they are just as stunning as the picture. We check out the beach on the closest island and hang out with friends of s/v Delos. Nugget is especially happy to see us again after being separated for a couple weeks. It’s great to be reunited and our boats are the only two in the anchorage! Unbelievable.

The white sand and clear water inspires Bill and we opt to purchase two spiny lobster from a local Kuna fisherman. Our friends have also done the same so we share dinner together and enjoy a decadent pasta dinner on Delos.

The next day we’re back on the beach living the good life, just soaking up the beauty around us. After being in a marina for months life back on the hook is nothing short of amazing. Breeze through the hatches, gentle rocking and the peace that comes from time spent on the water, with few others around.

Next, we say goodbye to friends Hannah and Max aboard s/v Elixir and head back to Calico Skies where we are visited by a local Kuna family on their cayucos. We buy bracelets from them which are traditionally worn by the Kuna. Then we are delighted to see a veggie boat making it’s way through the anchorage! Grace loads up on veggies and Bill treats himself to some Balboa (Panama beer). We’ve come to San Blas well stocked but you never know when the next opportunity will come along so we take advantage. You can never have too much beer, right??
