So we’re enjoying our morning rituals and working away editing videos, when over the radio comes a cry for help for a boat that has run aground on the reef!
The message is hard to distinguish at first, and then other cruisers start coming on to relay the information… sounds like a boat has somehow went straight up on the reef in Grenada between Hog Island Anchorage and Secret Harbour where we are anchored.. the request goes out for any dinghies that can render immediate assistance, especially larger ones, so this is one time we know our Yamaha 60hp will come in very helpful!
I tell Shascha to grab the dinghy tow line, which is the longest line we have that is also 3-strand so has lots of flex in it, I grab the keys and untie the dinghy and off we go!
It doesn’t take long to see the sailboat that has run aground, and it is right in the middle of the reef which is going to make it very difficult to reach without putting our own dinghy at risk… so the challenges begin and with all the other cruisers coming out to assist, we manage to put a good end to a day for one very distraught sailor…
Thanks to all the sailors that came out to help that day, and especially to Roger from a neighbouring boat who hopped in our dinghy on our way to render assistance with lines… very much appreciated Roger!

Captain Morgan Hid His Gold in This Cave | SSL781
Everyone on San Andrés will tell you Captain Henry Morgan hid his gold in a cave on the west side of the island. The cave is real. The gold has never been found — and the ship it was supposedly on broke apart on a reef in Panama in 1671. This week Sophisticated Lady is anchored in Seaflower, the sam...
We Couldn’t Slow Down — Squalls from San Blas to San Andrés | SSL780
Yesterday turquoise meant danger under the keel. Today the danger was the sky. We left San Blas under a wall of rain, ran a thrill ride of squalls and following seas into Linton Bay — then the next morning pointed at San Andrés. 27 hours. About 9 knots average. Surfing past 10 when the ocean picked...

SAN BLAS Panama — The Reefs That Sink Boats Here | SSL779
The San Blas Islands are one of the most beautiful places we have ever sailed. They are also one of the most technically demanding. Over 100 kilometres of coral reef protects this archipelago — and that same reef has ended a lot of sailing dreams. After 28 hours of open Caribbean, we arrived in Gun...
