Rapa Nui (Easter Island)

We didn't expect to visit Easter Island, it's not really on the way and it has no viable anchorages. Not great for a sailing boat... When we arrived in Tahiti we found out

Las Perlas Islands (whale mania)

After finally making it through the Panama Canal and into the pacific we were very excited to finally get to go and see the Las Perlas islands. After picking up Andrew and a

Panama Canal

Intimidated That's how the Panama Canal Crossing made me feel. It's designed for the biggest ships in the world. Cruising boats are barely even an afterthought. To give you an idea of how

The Coast of Panama

In this episode we hop along the coast of Panama from the San Blas Islands to the Panama Canal entrance. Puerto Lindo was a fun place to stop. Monkeys inhabit a small island

San Blas, Panama

You'd think the San Blas Islands would be memorable for the beaches and swimming, they look like paradise basically. But, it's not what I remember the most fondly, it was the Kuna Indians.

We sail from Gomera (Canary Islands) to the Cape Verde Islands. This is our first long passage with two friends as crew helping us out and the prelude to the Atlantic crossing. Also,
