Swimming at CROCODILE Island?! [Ep. 50]

Sailing Supernova Encounters Dangerous Surprise While Swimming at Crocodile Island

Sailing enthusiasts and adventure seekers, get ready to embark on an incredible journey with Sailing Supernova as they navigate the breathtaking waters of Panama’s Sand Blast Islands. In this episode, the crew uncovers a spine-chilling surprise that tests their survival skills and leaves them shaken.

A Thrilling Adventure in Paradise

The crew of Sailing Supernova set out on an epic 10-month journey from Alaska to Panama, fixing up their old catamaran along the way. As they reach the pristine waters of the Sand Blast Islands, they are thrilled at the prospect of exploring crystal-clear turquoise lagoons and abundant marine life.

The Unexpected Encounter

Unbeknownst to them, Crocodile Island hides a terrifying secret. While snorkeling in the idyllic waters surrounding the island, Sailing Supernova unwittingly finds themselves sharing the water with a deadly predator. The shocking discovery leaves them questioning their safety and testing their survival instincts.

Croc Alert! Safety Measures in Paradise

The crew of Sailing Supernova immediately begins taking measures to ensure their safety after the terrifying encounter with the crocodile. They promptly relocate from the hot tub Anchorage, where they swam just meters away from the lurking reptile, to the safer swimming pool Anchorage, surrounded by other boats.

The Snorkeling Experience in Sand Blast Islands

Prior to their unnerving experience, Sailing Supernova enjoyed snorkeling at several other anchorages within the Sand Blast Islands. They reveled in the vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life but were left unsettled by their encounter with a crocodile.

Exploring Paradise, Navigating Risks

Despite the risks, Sailing Supernova continues to embrace their journey through Panama’s Sand Blast Islands. They take in the stunning landscapes and interact with the friendly local community. In this paradise, they face unique challenges, from navigating shallow waters while sailing to understanding cultural norms and respecting territorial boundaries.

Sailing Supernova’s Epic Tale of Survival

Tune in to learn more about Sailing Supernova’s incredible journey through Panama, their encounter with a crocodile while swimming at Crocodile Island, and how they adapt to face the unexpected dangers that lie beneath the crystal-clear waters of paradise.

Explore More Hidden Gems

The Sand Blast Islands offer more hidden anchorages and stunning natural wonders for the curious explorer. While Crocodile Island may be an alarming experience, the islands provide an unforgettable adventure for those who dare to venture beyond the beaten path.

Safety Comes First

While Sailing Supernova’s adventure in Panama’s Sand Blast Islands showcases the breathtaking beauty of this paradise-like destination, it is also a reminder that safety should always come first. Be prepared to encounter hidden dangers and adapt your plans accordingly to ensure an unforgettable, yet safe, sailing experience.

Stay Safe and Explore the World

As you follow in Sailing Supernova’s wake on your own journey, remember to always stay vigilant. Appreciate the awe-inspiring landscapes and friendly local encounters while keeping safety top of mind. With this perspective, no adventure is too small or distant to explore.
So this week we arrived at an awesome deserted anchorage, "Hot Tub", but it didn't take us too long to find out why we were the only ones here... crocodiles!! Oh oh!

But the San Blas has many anchorages and islands to explore.. let's just hope that huge crocodile stays on Crocodile Island (just around the corner from our new anchorage, 'Swimming Pool').
