Moral is high with just 200 miles remaining on passage from Mexico to Panama. This passage presents unique challenges; from finding a weather window to make easting in the trades to running a known pirate coast. With those those challenges behind everyone is excited to make landfall at exotic Bocas del Toro, Panama. Making the landfall even more sweet is reuniting with Grace!
