Rudder put back with a new bushing. Thanks to the many who helped lift, carry, drag this massive 300 lb rudder and strategically get it back in place while we were in the water!

Major scare*** I was in the water and the weighted down rudder was “temporarily lost” as the boat shifted.  It was found after a 911 cry went out to all involved in the operation; the rudder hadn’t gone far but it had sunk to the bottom and the visibility was poor

Finally, with the rudder in place we set sail to experience the more remote parts of Panama as we make our way to the Panama Canal.

EVERYONE WAS SAD TO LEAVE BOCAS…WE LOVE BOCAS DEL TORO

#2 Escudo de Veraguas

Adrien on a sweet beach break off of the remote island of Escudo de Veraguas

A few local Guaymi Indians live here and are known for their skilled skin diving

#3 Rio Chagres- tropical river surrounded by virgin rainforest…silence except for the sounds of wild birds and monkeys

On our way to the Panama Canal we stopped for a few days at Rio Chagres jungle.

I highly recommend this detour… we saw the howler monkey, a capuchin monkey, a tree full of toucans
