It's hard not to like the San Blas Islands when this is the first place you sail past on the way in.




Lobster tails straight out of the sea and heading towards our BBQ. 




The Veggie boat arrives.  There is not much shopping but what there is comes to you.




A cheeky shop assistant!




Exploring one of the many islands.




Three men in a boat.




And the prize for wild life photography goes to Tash!! We have been trying to get a decent
picture of a dolphin for years.




Don't you just love the pace of life around here.




Lisa, jungle guide and master mola maker showing off her Marilyn Monroe lips
(she actually has a flower in  her mouth).




Jamie with Tash cooling their feet on our jungle trek.




Most of the Kuna women still wear traditional dress.  Here we are taking a ride upstream in a canoe.




The boss!




The Chef!!




The sun doesn't always shine in rainy season.  Believe it or not this picture was
taken in the middle of the day.




But when it does shine, it's beautiful.




A reminder to concentrate on the navigation.  This French ketch missed the gap in the reef into
Porvenir, they were fine but the yacht won't be going anywhere again.




In Porvenir you do have to be careful not to anchor at the end of the runway....
for fairly obvious reasons!




Venancio, another master mola maker and canny salesman!




We put Tash straight to work cleaning Bamboozle's bottom.




Up close and cuddly with Pippin the sloth in Linton.




Shelter Bay Marina.  We are now tied up to a dock for the first time since May.
Time for repairs and getting Bamboozle ready to haul.
