As promised here are some pics of our first week in Bocas. A big storm came through last night and this morning we have had tropical rain showers all morning. There are gale force winds forecasted off the N Coast of Columbia all week so we are delaying our sail down to Colon until the weekend.

We picked up a second hand Yamaha 15hp 2 stoke engine yesterday so we are now fully mobile with our new dinghy, and can nip in and out of bocas very easily for suppiles, which is great.

The last lock of the Panama canal from the flight to Bocas

Bars and shops over the water - everything is on stilts and you just motor up!

The main street in Bocas

Getting stuck in! Discovering what's in the lazarettes! The starboard one is HUGE!
