Flamenco Island, Panama City, Panama – Entry Procedure

We arrived in Panama City on December 31, 2022 from Golfito, Costa Rica. Here we anchored at Las Brisas de Amador with a beautiful view of the Panama City skyline. We proceeded to check in at Flamenco Island by visiting the port captain and immigrations in the same building. Everything went without issues and people were helpful and accommodating throughout the process.

Departing A Beautiful Paradise

Our three month stay in Costa Rica flew by quickly and we are getting ready to check out of Costa Rica in Golfito and make our way to Panama. But first we enjoy Costa Rica’s beauty for a little while longer.

Thanksgiving Travel

While Janine and the pets hold down the fort on Rua Hatu at anchor in Puerto Jimenez, Golfo Dulce Costa Rica, I headed out on a cross country, cross continent journey to visit my family in California for Thanksgiving. This was also a re-supply mission and involved returning with over 100 lbs of goodies.

A Wet Sail to the Beautiful Osa Peninsula

We take advantage of the winds produced by a small offshore storm system to sail south from Isla Cedros to Puerto Jimenez, on the eastern coast of the Osa Peninsula.

Pacific Central West

As we continue to explore the inside of the Nicoya Peninsula, we relish in the numerous similarities between our old sailing grounds of Puget Sound and our current environment. Both have ferry rides, wildlife, desolate beaches and rainforest. The only difference is the temperature.
