Everyone on San Andrés will tell you Captain Henry Morgan hid his gold in a cave on the west side of the island. The cave is real. The gold has never been found — and the ship it was supposedly on broke apart on a reef in Panama in 1671. This week Sophisticated Lady is anchored in Seaflower, the sam...
Yesterday turquoise meant danger under the keel. Today the danger was the sky.
We left San Blas under a wall of rain, ran a thrill ride of squalls and following seas into Linton Bay — then the next morning pointed at San Andrés. 27 hours. About 9 knots average. Surfing past 10 when the ocean picked...
The San Blas Islands are one of the most beautiful places we have ever sailed. They are also one of the most technically demanding. Over 100 kilometres of coral reef protects this archipelago — and that same reef has ended a lot of sailing dreams.
After 28 hours of open Caribbean, we arrived in Gun...

I had to make the decision to leave Parlay in the marina in Panama to go to work on a Superyacht. The repairs needed for Parlay are to the tune of $30,000 so I had to take the opportunity to earn some money when it presented itself. Meanwhile the crew love having the boat all to themselves!

My favourite day of the trip so far.. a daysail to the Tyrona National Park in Colombia! Only accessible by water, or a 3-day hike by land.. guaranteed to be a very remote and secluded location for a beautiful afternoon on the beach!
Cheers,
Captain Rick

The message is hard to distinguish at first, and then other cruisers start coming on to relay the information... sounds like a boat has...
