  Pos: here Loc: Playa Huertas Acc: tent Dist: 25 km Start: 6:55 End: 14:20 Not a single person took notice of me on my tiny beach, as there was only one motorboat passing by from north to south anyway. The halo of Calo was lightening the horizon that much I even covered my eyes […]

  Pos: here Loc: Isla Naranjo Abajo Acc: tent Dist: 29,3 km Start: 6:25 End: 15:00 I was reading my book and eating my dinner last night by the shine of my headlamp, thinking I can only be alone here tonight, when a flash light shone into my tent, and someone was saying “Hola”…two guys […]

  Pos: here Loc: Rivermouth Rio Chagres Acc: tent Dist: 3,9 km Start: 6:45 End: 08:40 Hello, Caribbean! Here I come! Beautiful crystal clear warm water lapping gently on colourful coral reefs in lovely sunshine…isn’t that what one thinks of the Caribbean Sea?

  Pos: here Loc: Panama City Acc: Hennie’s and Ursula’s house No paddling tomorrow Besides a lot of online work, repair jobs, a quick dip in the community pool and a visit to the hair dresser, not much happened today. No progress on the Canal thing. Press conference tomorrow at 2 pm!

  Pos: here Loc: Panama City Acc: Hennie’s and Ursula’s house No paddling tomorrow The day was busy with a visit into town for chasing down some gas cans (not available… 🙁 ), my VHF radio which should be at the Aeronaval base now (not there yet…), a parcel sent from Germany (didn’t arrive yet…), some repair material […]

  Pos: here Loc: Panama City Acc: Hennie’s and Ursula’s house No paddling tomorrow I woke early with a sore body, but got started also with my regular city chores – laundry, charging electronics, gear checks, online work… the whole bunch. Tim was so nice to help me to find a few leaks in the boat, some old […]

  Pos: here Loc: Panama City Acc: Hennie’s and Ursula’s house Dist: 68,7 km Start: 6:20 End: 21:00 No paddling tomorrow Sure my night watch neighbour from the “Survivor” crew came this morning on my launch wanting a signed card for himself- no problem! 🙂 At least he was not sitting there highly armed as my night […]
