Maria, Karl and I cruise around the Las Perlas for another week, exploring some really pretty anchorages. We chat with local fishermen, do. our laundry during stormy weather and hunt for veggies in the only town around. Typical cruisers' day to day life I'...
From the Perlas we left for an overnight sail south west to a surf spot called Venao. We were running a bit low so we had to find a way to get some extra fuel. Riding the kayak into the beach was quite the adventure...and the ride into town with thee Panam...
Some of you might have been waiting to see this happen...we were sailing from Venao towards the west when my little engine decided to finally give up.
But hey, engine problems should never stop you from exploring! We took the opportunity to check out our b...
Karl's engine is dead, so we set sails to slowly make our way back towards Panama City. Winds are low and turning in this area and the tidal currents are not helping during the doldrums, either. But Karl is doing pretty well even under the challenging circ...
The engine-less journey continues. We have to wait for some wind to get out of the anchorage in Isla Bona, so we decide to explore the island by land and by sea.
With the smallest of a breeze we set sail to Isla Otoque, only 5nm north from Isla Bona and ...
One last voyage without a working engine from Isla Otoque to Isla Taboga where I have found a safe mooring for Karl so I can fly home and earn some extra $$$ for a new engine.
Since winds are always low and turning in this area, it was a challenge to leav...
It took more than three years, but finally my parents come to visit me and set eyes and foot on Karl for the first time.
We explore the island of Taboga and enjoy some quality family time together. My mom loves Karl's homeyness and my dad seems surprised ...
Sorry everybody for the silence, but there are partly good reasons behind it 😎😎😎 in real time, my new Beta Marine engine has arrived and I am working 24/7 on the installation / necessary changes that come with it.
Thank you for your patience and ...
My sister came to visit me again and since Karl is in Taboga with a broken engine, we decided to do some land travel in Colombia.
We went on the four day Lost City Trek and it was quite the adventure, but see yourself...
Ahoy, Nike & Karl
After putting my little sis through a wet four day jungle hike, I owed her some quality beach relaxing time. We went on a fun tubing adventure down Rio Guajira and then it was time for us to head to Germany.
After four months of the boat, I found Karl in...
My friend Maria needed some crew for her charter business http://www.sailjoana.com and I still had to pay off my new engine, so I jumped on a car, made it over to the beautiful San Blas Islands and worked some charters with her.
It was a great experience ...

It looks like my sister forgave me for that crazy hike in Colombia since she is back for a visit. Karl is still engine-less, so we are invading Maria's space on good old JoJo and untie the lines to move to the San Blas islands for some vacation time!

Finally I try to get my drone set up and do the first trial run which is not so super satisfying.
And Maria and I get blown away by the worst storm we've ever been in in the San Blas islands.

Before our new guests for the Untie The Lines charter arrive in the beautiful San Blas Islands, we have to prep Maria's traditional sail boat Joana a little bit. We quickly repaint the galley and take off to fill the boat with water and refill our propane ...

Often, I get told that I always seem so calm...and usually I am...But not so much in this week's episode. You get to see my highly annoyed and frustrated side.

A day on the hard costs 170$ in Balboa Yacht Club, so we worked day and night on the to do list and managed to be back in the water after 6 days.
