 
                Mike and Taylor from the YouTube channel Making Our Way | Sailing Viā are embarking on an adventure like no other, sailing from Seattle with their four-legged companions Penny and Lucy. Their journey has taken them to the beautiful Sand Blossom Islands of Panama, where they’ve found a simple life in a world seemingly untouched by modern civilization.
In Episode 124 titled “The Worst Part of Paradise? THIS.”, Mike and Taylor document a day that starts with what should be a thrilling local tour but quickly takes an unexpected turn. For the first time since arriving in their new paradise, they find themselves wearing shoes – not just any shoes, but socks and shoes.
Alongside a knowledgeable Guna guide named Lisa, they embark on a journey through the rainforested mountains to visit a waterfall. This expedition is not just about sightseeing but immerses them into the culture and practices of the Guna people. Through hiking trails and navigating through rivers, they find themselves in breathtaking settings that feel like scenes from a fairy tale.
At the heart of their adventure lies a series of cliff jumps into crystal-clear pools under the waterfall. Initially hesitant, even with Lisa’s reassurance and encouragement, they soon find themselves embracing this leap of faith along with others. The experience is not just about physical courage but also symbolizes taking that initial step out of one’s comfort zone in an unfamiliar environment.
The journey is filled with beautiful moments, including swimming in pools teeming with curious fish and enjoying a delicious lunch. However, the joy of these experiences is somewhat tempered by their realization that they’re leaving this paradise soon, marking another chapter in their sailing adventure. Yet, it’s evident from their narration that this time spent has been incredibly meaningful.
Returning to the reality of boat life, Mike and Taylor recount an unfortunate evening plagued by no-seeum bites. Their boat becomes a battlefield as they wage war against these tiny but tormenting creatures with paper towels and a vacuum cleaner. The humor in their description adds a light-hearted touch to what could otherwise be described as a miserable night.
In an effort to turn the evening around, they decide to hunt lionfish – an invasive species known for its poisonous spikes. Taylor nervously cleans and prepares this exotic catch for dinner. The meal not only reflects their adaptability but also a responsible action towards conserving local marine life by removing an invasive species.
Mike and Taylor’s story is more than a narrative of beautiful landscapes and exotic food; it’s about embracing challenges, adapting to new situations, and cherishing moments that might seem daunting at first. It showcases their resilience as they continue to find beauty in the unexpected aspects of paradise – all while reminding us that even in the midst of challenges, life on the open sea is full of surprises.
If you’re inspired to explore these breathtaking locales or learn more about living aboard and the challenges it presents, be sure to follow Making Our Way | Sailing Viā. Their journey is not just about sailing; it’s a story of courage, adaptability, and discovering joy in unexpected places.
This episode highlights their exploration in the Sand Blossom Islands of Panama. While specific coordinates were not given during the video transcription, these islands are known for their stunning beauty and remote location, offering a unique perspective on paradise.
We've been in San Blas for almost three months now, and we've settled into a simple life far from the trappings of modern civilization. But even paradise has its challenges! Join us for a day where we go on an adventure and do something VERY different, break a personal streak, and face some of the tiny but real difficulties of a life on a boat in the islands.
