After a final day's sail and (for the first time motor) we have arrived at Kuna Yala, and the tiny island of Porvenir.
The airstrip is so small (you can walk across it without restriction), but I'm sure Al could still land here!
We of course immediately went ashore to deal with the local immigration formalities - which consisted of sitting in hammocks and having a cold beer!
Tomorrow we will try and explore the islands and the interesting indigenous indian tribe that lives amongst the islands.
In honor of the Kuna we have decided to put Jenny in control of all boat affairs and decisions today - the Kuna household is controlled and run by the woman.
