Panama to Contadora in the
Pearl Islands
Time to get going and stow everything
away. The picture on the left may look like the sea bed, but it is actually
the bottom of Baby Beez. The ‘tea
stain’ is all around Beez and Baby Beez.
The
outboard didn’t fair any better.
Even our swim
ladder was covered in growth and barnacles. Poor Baby
Beez as she is tied down by the skipper.
Hopefully this is the last time this
little monkey will wiggle us around.
Anchor up.
We left the anchorage at ten thirty
and were soon out in the Gulf of Panama, leaving the
city behind.
Don’t know about this girl, but she
has her own helicopter. Perhaps we were watching our last pilot
delivery.
A very different angle as we sail past
Cetus Leader
We leave the parked
girls behind.
As soon as we left the chums I had a
good go at Baby Beez whilst Bear had a session on
the outboard.
Then the sea was a
mass of activity as was the air.
The dolphins
fished as Full Monty overtook us and the seabirds did a fly past.
We then had a cracking sail, passing
the first island - Pacheca
Strange colouring
on these rocks
Then we see the
anchorage of Contadora
Our first look at
a sandy beach in quite some time.
Settled quietly by five thirty,
then a gentle sunset.
ALL IN ALL A FANTASTIC
