Sailing alone up a windy shallow river in Panama. Quite the adventure! - UNTIE THE LINES III #48
I solo sail from Costa Rica to Panama and take on the epic adventure of navigating up a windy, shallow and quite remote river upon my arrival in Panama. My depth sounder has seen bigger numbers for sure, charts are incorrect and I have to be on my toes not to ground my sailboat on a riverbank.
The return to Panama lays a little heavy on my heart…but at least, Panama still has spots for me to discover, which always makes returning not quite so bad ;).
It’s time for family again, our full movie-length documentary has to be released and I promised Maria to help her with her charters for the 2018 season. Check out sailjoana.com if you want to come and visit up on board Joana.
I hope you enjoy the last episode of this season. Thanks to Daniel and Patrice who put so much work into producing this season and who always miracously manage to makes something pretty from the data chaos that I send them. And a big thanks to all of you! For laughing and crying with me, for sending all those warm words my way and for your great advise and sometimes enligthning criticism you give me.
This season has definitely been too short (that’s how it felt to me at least), but one good thing about the time delay betwween filming and publishing is: It’s nearly time to return to Karl in real time :)!!!
Ahoy & Enjoy,
Nike & Karl
